I'm running a 2.6.27_rc5 kernel on my laptop for the latest ath5k for the wireless chip. The laptop also has nvidia video, so I wanted to use nvidia-drivers. It had other ideas: In file included from /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.12/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nv.c:14: /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.12/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-173.14.12-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nv-linux.h:107:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory The only semaphore.h file I found was /usr/src/linux/include/linux/semaphore.h, but the build failed in a more spectacular way when I symlinked that into include/asm/. You'd said on bug 235736 that you were able to build against a .27 kernel, so I know I'm not in completely uncharted territory :P
The more terrible failure is probably similar to the problems with argument count of on_each_cpu() and it's siblings. This is a known issue because 173.* doesn't explicitly support 2.6.27. For the latest kernel use the beta nvidia drivers ! 177.* branch.
Yes, that was the failure. I unmasked 177.70, and it built fine against my kernel.
Created attachment 164614 [details] nvidia-drivers-173.14.12-r1.ebuild Use this patch: http://kanotix.com/files/173.14.12/NVIDIA_173.14.12_2.6.27.patch I have an old NVIDIA card , and I cannot use newer driver.
In kernel .config the CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS=y is necessary, because: arch/x86/kernel/init_task.c: EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL(init_mm);
The patch and kernel option seem to compile for me, but X still does not find the card. 173.x.x is another legacy release, I cannot use the newer 177.x drivers with this card.

The patch works here as well after recompiling once booting with the changed kernel.
Patch is working with GeForce 9600M GT and vanilla 2.6.27 kernel. Thanks!
The patch at least allows the driver to compile. I'll find out if it works later tonight.
works for me too (GeForce 7900 GTX). please, please commit this fix. I actually worked out pretty much the same fix myself before I thought to check here (except for kill_proc, which I wasn't sure how to fix).
Created attachment 170471 [details] Build Log It doesn't really work for me for some strange reason. It's positive that it compiles (before I used this ebuild the nvidia-drivers couldn't be built against linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r2 kernel). Build log is attached, do you also need emerge --info?
Created attachment 170472 [details] emerge --info emerge --info BTW: I am using a Geforce FX52000 The 177*-drivers doesn't work here, too....
Error was: I copied the ebuild in the local overlay and copied all NVIDIA*.patch - files from portage-tree into the local overlay. Seems there was a missing file: [ -f "${FILESDIR}/nvidia" ] || die "nvidia missing in FILESDIR";
Andreas, it seems to me as if you haven't actually downloaded the patch from kanotix.com.
This patch works for me with GeForce FX Go5200 on laptop for 2.6.27-r2. Thanks for the work.
works fine, thanks, please commit.
(In reply to comment #16) > works fine, thanks, please commit. > Hi, how should the patch be applied? Is it a patch for nvidia drivers or for kernel source? I'm having the samem issue
The patch (NVIDIA_173.14.12_2.6.27.patch) should be put in the 'files' directory, like: ${your_overlay}/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/files/

I vote for this one as well. Gentoo is ideal for older hardware (like Geforce FX 5200 that I'm using). Having to patch nvidia-drivers manually is becoming a pain in the neck. It's almost worth switching distributions for. The patch works perfectly, why not make it mainstream? Now I'm using this patch: http://kanotix.com/files/173.14.12/NVIDIA_173.14.12_2.6.27.patch I followed these steps hoping to make it stick: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:LCU2bSpQaNgJ:da.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild+howto+patch+ebuild&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a Thank heavens for Google Cache! It used to be here: http://da.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Create_an_Updated_Ebuild but that URL is no longer working.
Patch looks OK except for the very last hunk @@ -704,7 +708,9 @@ U032 sig ) { + #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE <= KERNEL_VERSION(2, 6, 26) return kill_proc(pid, sig, 1) ? RM_ERR_OPERATING_SYSTEM : RM_OK; + #endif } I haven't looked at the actual source file, but from the context available it looks like the whole function is being removed, resulting in an undefined value being returned. This would probably cause problems down the line.
Reminder to maintainers: 2.6.27 is planned to go stable on December 15th, it would be great if you could work on this before then

173.14.15 has been added to the tree, sorry for the delays, mad busy.
The bump is working fine here, shouldn't this bug be closed, or are you waiting for x86/amd64 teams to stabilize? [they should probably be notified in that case..]
