That file is normally built as part of the build process; you should have one. How are you trying to build the modules? Assuming you're using the Debian nvidia-kernel-src package, it should be enough to unpack /usr/src/nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz and run 'fakeroot make-kpkg modules-image' from your kernel source tree. > The second problem is regarding ide-scsi.

Are you, in fact, root? You might also need the SCSI generic device driver; try 'modprobe sg'. (This also explains cdparanoia randomly losing on SCSI-ish systems, if you run into that problem.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
