Package: nvidia-kernel-source Version: 1.0.7174-4 Severity: grave I was trying to build the kernel module from nvidia-kernel-source according to the directions in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian (method #1). I have the linux-headers-2.6.12-1-686 package from etch installed, and my running kernel is from the linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 package.
