Work-arounds? I don't think this is too critical as my current nvidia-kernel module is working wonders. In fact, this is brought to you by XFree with the older version of the nvidia driver, so it's not a very critical bug. Happy hunting! --G
Ok. Yes I have rivafb in my kernel, but I don't think that is the problem for not building as it seems the build error is about some undeclared stuff in the header files from the 2.4.25 kernel. I am well aware of the problems with rivafb (I actually think that this is what making my machine lock up when blanking screen in console mode) I have thought about removing the rivafb from my kernel, but it is a lot of trouble for me upgrading the kernel because of promise proporitary raid, and as I said I think the problem with rivafb is when using it with the nvidia kernel module...not when compiling the nvidia module..that is also what you suggest when you say that I just can remove the module (if it was compiled as modules) Regards Hasse
Another question. Shouldn't nvidia-kernel use the include files from the linux-headers package instead of /usr/src/linux/include ?
Um is the kernel in /usr/src/linux actually built? It has to be built... And definately YES nvidia-kernel must be built against the kernel headers (in /usr/src/linux), as it is a kernel module...
I have found the problem it seems that the 2.4.25 cannot be compiled with the newest gcc in ~x86. It was actually this causing the problems. Switched to gcc 3.3.4 instead of gcc 3.4.2 and it worked :-)
Is this fixed then?
I don't know if you want to spawn a new bug or what, but I still get the error I posted in my earlier comment when attempting to compile against a 2.6.8.1 kernel. I have not tried reverting the gcc version I am using, but reverting does not solve the problem. Hopefully some day the stable version will be the current ~x86 version, so figuring it out would be nice :). Now that I'm done installing Gentoo on my antique Alphaserver I'll start poking around with this problem, although I don't know much of anything about either the kernel source or nvidia source.
It is fixed by swithing to a older compiler. It seems there is compatibily problems with gcc 3.4.2 as nvidia-kernel is not the only ebuild not compiling with it.
I dont have compatibility problems here with the 2.6 kernels, is it only 2.4 kernels that have gcc 3.4.2 problems? Greg honestly yours is a differnt bug to this but anyway, It really does look like there is something wrong with your kernel tree... Perhaps try cleaning it etc.. and rebuilding
OK this was solved, but it didnt really get fixed, works for me here though.
