 Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 6:30 pm Post subject: Linux 2.6.23 and old Nvidia drivers [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have a system that requires old Nvidia drivers. After upgrading the kernel to 2.6.23-r3 when I emerged nvidia-drivers all of them are masked because the ebuild for the old driver is no longer on my system. Running module-rebuild rebuild says that there are no ebuilds to satisfy any of the packages it would emerge. Where and how do I get the old ebuilds I need? Here is the output of module-rebuild rebuild:
| Code: | goliath ~ # module-rebuild rebuild
** Preparing to merge modules:
** Packages which I will emerge are:
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774
=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639
5 4 3 2 1
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1".
|
There are no ebuilds on my system for any of these 3 packages.

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Kernel & Hardware.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here.

Hi sheepdog,
same situtaion here. You might want to try something like:
| Code: | | emerge -1 nvidia-drivers |
It will emerge nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639 which should be the one you need.
Anyhow, I haven't yet succeed to get this workls as I get the following error during the emerging process :
| Code: | NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Erreur 1
make: *** [module] Erreur 2
*
* ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 1701: Called dyn_compile
* ebuild.sh, line 1039: Called qa_call 'src_compile'
* ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile
* nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639.ebuild, line 212: Called linux-mod_src_compile
* linux-mod.eclass, line 518: Called die
* The specific snippet of code:
* emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" \
* ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} \
* || die "Unable to make ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}."
* The die message:
* Unable to make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes V=1 SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux SYSOUT=/usr/src/linux clean module.
*
* If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
* A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9639/temp/build.log'.

Hope this can help you anyway |

| I believe the problem you describe has been filed as bug # 196257. There is a patch available. Haven't tried it myself yet. |
