I have a Debian/Woody/Stable system with a NVIDIA XFX FX-5200 card installed in the AGP slot. I am running 2.4.25 in smp mode compiled from source in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.25 directory. A backported "top" program and other ways reveals that the system is running fine in hyperthreaded mode (simulating 4 processors).
I have tried to install the 5336-pkg1 both with the nvidia-installer and with the "make install" from source. Both ways will not allow the driver to run due to an unresolved reference to smp_num_cpus. I have already tried all the options available to for the installer to recognize the correct source directory. Indeed, the driver compiles correctly, but will not link to the reference (or it is not found on the compile step). Please help fix this problem.

Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they can help you. ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.o'. This is most likely because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. -- James D.
