 Posted: Tue Dec 15, 2009 2:02 pm Post subject: nvidia 9300 GE 256 not recognized: bios problem [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi all
I have a new graphics card, NVIDIA 9300 GE 256MB PCI-X
My problem is that i'm working with the NV driver since with the NVIDIA driver i get a black screen...
The problem (i may be wrong) is that my kernel is not recognizing the device. When running a gentoo live cd, the device gets recognized perfectly...
Did i forget any kernel option ? i never had this problem before.
Here is the lscpi with my current kernel:
| Code: |
(..)
00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation ICH10 2 port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 06e0 (rev a1)
(..)
|
and with the device being recognized:
| Code: |
(..)
00:1f.5 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) 2-port SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300 GE] (rev a1)
(..)
|
If necessary i'll post my kernel config.
here is my machine specs:
| Code: | | Linux nightraider 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 #4 SMP Mon Dec 14 18:16:42 WET 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux |
Any ideia why this is happening?
My colleagues, with identical machines, have the second lspci... runing ubuntu and OpenSuse 11.2
Cheers,
Bruno Santos

Hi !
That did the trick, but i still cant't use the nvidia driver....

After meddling google about the errors in /var/log/messages, i found that the problem is my computer bios... it has a bug...
So, as a workaround for the driver to work, i add this to the boot kernel line:
After this, everything worked ok ! I'm now writting this post with the nvidia kernel driver working super fine !
Cheers,
Bruno Santos
