I need to rephrase, i have just discovered another descrepancy, or at least it looks like it to me, let me explain. The nvidia install file has precompiled kernel modules for a lot of distribution installed kernels from Redhat Mandrake and Suse, i have attached a list. If no running kernel is found of that nature then the installer ftp's to nvidia's site (if thats possable) and automaticly checks to see if a kernel module is available, if no kernel modules for the running kernel is found on nvidia's site then one needs the source of the running kernel installed and it needs to be configured and dependancy files created, one of which i belive is modversions.h . Somewhere back in the past the kernel source changed, the file modversions.h (AFAIK) used to get created by make dep, however i now see it does not, it gets created when one starts to compile the kernel itself with 'make bzImage' or which ever option is used. Now to solve that problem you can of course simply issue; make bzImage to create /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h OR you can cheat because we do NOT want to install the kernel we are making because it is already in use (if you follow me). So here is how you can cheat, cheat i suppose is the wrong word, we simply take a shortcut and save time. Do: touch /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h echo "#include <linux/modsetver.h> > /usr/src/linux/include/linux/ modversions.h" (above all on one line). So to recap; mke oldconfig make dep touch as per above example echo idem dito. That could very well be the problem. -- If the Linux community is a bunch of theives because they try to imitate windows programs, then the Windows community is built on organized crime.
