Hi thierry, Module compiling (step 4 on this tinyplanet link) failed just like before. Here's the last few lines, if it helps. NVIDIA: calling KBUILD... make CC=gcc-3.4 -C /lib/modules/2.6.8-11-amd64-k8/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv modules make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8' echo \#define NV_COMPILER \"`gcc-3.4 -v 2>&1 | tail -n 1`\" > /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv_compiler.h CC [M] /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.o /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.c:1: error: code model `kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode make[4]: *** [/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/nv.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8' NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[2]: *** [module] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv' make[1]: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel' make: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 Machine is frank:/home/bruno# uname -a Linux frank 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 #1 Sun Oct 2 21:26:54 UTC 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm guessing the problem is nvidia's installer against debian way going on here, as the document points out. If you can see something I can't from these compilation lines, please let me know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
