I have been following the nvidia-drivers howto in the wiki and have come across a problem:
Please, any help is appreciated.
| Code: |

wbrokow1,
Reformatting your error message will help | Code: | nvidia: version magic '2.6.18-gentoo-r3 SMP preempt mod_unload K7 gcc-4.1'
should be '2.6.18-gentoo-r3 SMP preempt mod_unload K7 gcc-3.4' |
Spot the difference ?
Your nvidia module was compiled with gcc-4.1 and your 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 kernel was compiled with gcc-3.4. That nomally makes things break, so the kernel checks.
Rebuild your kernel with gcc-4.1, starting with | Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make clean |
to ensure its completely recompiled.
This woild be a good opportunity for a kernel update too, since current stab;e is 2.6.22-r8

Ok, should I compile the new stable kernel now or fix the nvidia-driver issue?

wbrokow1,
Thats entirely your choice. Both things require a kernel compile.
This is a little worrying | Code: | | make: Warning: File `..tmp_vmlinux1.cmd' has modification time 8.1e+08 s in the future |
It implies your clock has been stepped back at sometime. This will cause some odd effects with make unless you know that there are no old .o files.
In the kernel, make clean does that, or a new kernel tree.
The first thing to do if fix your clock, if its not correct now.

Ok, I upgraded to the 2.6.22-r8 kernel.
The clock error is gone now.
I emerged the nvidia-drivers.
now I still get an error:

Alsoit seems my System.map can't be found although it IS there:

What did I do wrong?
I've switched kernels before exactly according to the handbook.
do I have to reboot? |

If that command outputs something containing 2.6.18, you're still using the old kernel and will need to reboot.
If it outputs something with 2.6.22, then you're using the new kernel and something else must be wrong. |

yes a new problem crept up when I rebooted
my logical volumes weren't recognized and now I have to figure out what to do about that.
You were right , uname -a produced 2.6.18 as my kernel that's why I rebooted.
Although when I edited the command line to boot from the old kernel 2.6.18
It still did not recognize my logical volumes. Maybe they're corrupt.
My lv's are on 2 scsi drves.
I am using a knoppix live cd to boot now.
Thanks for your help I think I am deeper trouble now of my own doing. |

wbrokow1,
You must add a new booting block in grub.conf to boot your new kernel.
Its identical to the stanza you have now with the kernel file name changed. That will allow you a choice of kernels at boot time.

the boot drive is ok>
is my system wiped out?
i think it might be

wbrokow1,
Its unlikely your drives just died. Its much more lilkely that you have missed a driver.
The kernel menuconfig has been restructured between 2.6.18 abd 2.5.22
make oldconfig does not carry forward settings into to new structure very well.

So I have to get into "make menuconfig" in /usr/src/linux?
That means I'll have to recompile.
I don't think I can get to /usr/scr/linux!!
What can I do?
Thanks for your help |

Ok, I added the 2.6.18 kernel to the list.
Still same errors.
I can't get to /usr/src/linux to run make menuconfig.
Shouldn't it work with the 2.6.18 kernel?
I did not modify that!
This is why I think the drives are bad.
If the drives are good can't I mount them somehow?
Please help. Thank you very much. |

wbrokow1,
Post your lspci output - it will show yor hardware and we can check your kernel config from there.
Your drives should show up in from the liveCD or from kernel 2.6.18, if it didn't get messed up.
Please test from the liveCD.

gave me :
bash: lspci: command not found
Shows the /dev/hda4 with a Linux LVM system.
I believe thats the drive.
shows the PV name as "unknown device"
How can I use the livecd to test ?

the live cd shows the two drives as /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1.
How do we proceed with the repair?
Thanks again. |

| Posted: Tue Oct 23, 2007 2:01 pm Post subject: Sata drives not available with 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 |
|
|
I have seen others with the same problem but my is differnet than theirs.
Let me explain.
I had 2.6.18 running and wanted to switch to 2.6.22-gentoo-r8 stable.
When I make oldconfig and then installed the new kernel (which I have done many times) I ran into a problem.
The sata drives were not recognized. All my directories except boot and swap are on the sata drives(lvm) no raid.
When I rebooted the 2.6.22 did not recognize the sata drives so I said "ok switch back to 2.6.18 and everything should be back to where it was" NOT so!
When I booted with 2.6.18, which I did no change, at all STILL no sata drives.
THe major problem is /usr/src/linux is on the sata drives! I can't reconfigure.
Is there a way to use the live CD to rescue myself?
In my simplistic view of the problem: I need to recompile a kernel (2.6.18 perhaps) and install a new /usr/src/linux
, /usr /opt /home etc to a different drive. I have two pata drives that are recognized and working. could I use them.
OR should I just WIPE all the sata drives and start over.
All suggestions are welcome, just please be detailed on how to perform this repair(if possible) |

wbrokow1,
I suspect your 2.6.18 kernel is still there and can be made to boot, its just grub.conf thats not right.
Boot with the liveCD and run Post the output.
As your /boot is outside LVM, grub.conf can be fixed. post your grub.conf and You can get at all this from the liveCD.
Some of the SATA drivers changed significantly between 2.6.18 and 2.6.22. Particularly the Intel ones,
so its likely you have not taken account of that, as a result, your SATA drives appear as /dev/hd..., not /dev/sd...
I'm sure your system can be fixed but I don't use LVM to know how to get it to start from the liveCD.
I do know you can though

/boot -> mnt/livecd/boot

my grub.conf is :
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.18
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.18-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda3
title=gentoo linux 2.6.22
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-2.6.22-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/hda3
|
I type most from memory and copied some down on paper.
Is the lspci output enough?
THanks for the help |

any ideas in this yet?
I would hate to have to wipe the drives and start over.
I know just enough to be dangerous! |

wbrokow1,
It appears that your /boot is correct. the boot -> . is normal. Its allows the same grub.conf to work regardless of /boot being a real partition or not.
I have the same nVidia nForce2 chipset and SIL 3112 as you and my IDE and SATA works ok. My kernel is made for a Athlon XP+ CPU, so it would run on your system. If you are unable to make a kernel, I can arrange for you to download mine. I do not have LVM support.
Here is what your need for the IDE drives you have | Code: |
┌─────────────────────────── ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ───────────────────────────┐
│ │ --- ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support │ │
│ │ (2) Max IDE interfaces │ │
│ │ <*> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support │ │
│ │ --- Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives │ │
│ │ <*> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support │ │
│ │ [*] Use multi-mode by default │ │
│ │ <*> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support │ │
│ │ <M> SCSI emulation support │ │
│ │ [*] IDE ACPI support │ │
│ │ [*] IDE Taskfile Access │ │
│ │ [*] legacy /proc/ide/ support │ │
│ │ --- IDE chipset support/bugfixes │ │
│ │ <*> generic/default IDE chipset support │ │
│ │ [*] PCI IDE chipset support │ │
│ │ [*] Sharing PCI IDE interrupts support │ │
│ │ <*> Generic PCI IDE Chipset Support │ │
│ │ [*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support │ │
│ │ <*> AMD and nVidia IDE support │ │ |
Everything not listed, needs to be off. This has not changed for a while and should already be ok. | Code: | | Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers |
is a new menu for the SATA drivers that were under Low Level SCSI, make oldconfig gets this wrong and drops your SATA driver out. Choose only | Code: | | <*> Silicon Image SATA support |
from this new menu.
