Bug 51408 – nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r3 build failure

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John Schimmel 2004-05-18 10:40:19 UTC]

The nvidia-kernel build fails for me with vanilla-sources-2.6.6_rc2.  I notice a couple of these already mentioned, but I don't have the userpriv feature set so assume this is different.

  Building modules, stage 2.

AFAIK it does this because you are not running the kernel that you are trying to build the kernel module against... Can you try running the 2.6.6_rc2 kernel and building against it then.

Or better can you try the build against the full 2.6.6 tree (turn off 4k stacks).

[Comment 2 Andrew Bevitt 2004-05-27 17:55:16 UTC]

Its important that /usr/src/linux points to the right kernel tree aswell.

[Comment 3 John Schimmel 2004-05-27 19:33:19 UTC]

I booted the 2.6.6_rc2 kernel and /usr/src/linux does point to the appropriate place.  Same problem.

[Comment 4 Andrew Bevitt 2004-06-12 00:20:41 UTC]

Can you attach a log of your entire nvidia-kernel build please (PLAIN TEXT format).

[Comment 5 John Schimmel 2004-06-14 09:26:36 UTC]

This seems to work fine as of development-sources-2.6.6.  I'm assuming it was something to do with the 2.6.6_rc* kernel trees.
