Bug 28061 – nvidia-kernel does not run with mm-sources-2.6-test4-mm6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Iain Cadd 2003-09-06 10:12:07 UTC]

I discovered that nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r1 has unresolved symbol problems with
the latest mm-sources. Its seems to be trying to use the old patches for 2.5 and
the last upgrade patch. The latest 2.6 (>test3-bk5) only patch from minion.de
seems to work fine though so I have made a mall change to the ebuild. This
probably needs a bit more thinking as it will fail to work properly on 2.6
kernel before test3-bk5 (I think, havent tested though)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install mm-sources-test4-mm6
2.install latest nvidia-kernel and attempt to modprobe module.
3.

Guy, have you tried -r2 ?  Same for Iain?

[Comment 6 Sébastien Champigny 2003-09-07 04:37:09 UTC]

I tried it but it fails with a "VT_GETMODE failed" when I start the X server.
Additionnaly, I don't have a tty2 anymore (?). I use devfs and xfree-4.3.99.10.

If you use test4-mm6, then this is a known bug.  Fix was posted to LKML:

Anyhow, I updated the patches just to make sure in -r3.  The rest of
the mm6 issues is not nvidia-kernel side.
