How to solve?

You need to patch NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run package as follows:

# sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run +x
# cd NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1
# nano nvsound.patch

then paste this code:

--- nvsound/main/conftest.sh.old        2006-01-17 15:13:03.816795328 +0100
+++ nvsound/main/conftest.sh    2006-01-17 15:14:06.446274200 +0100

save it, and patch NFORCE package with:

# patch -p0 < nvsound.patch

Then install it:

# ./nforce-install

Install only nvsound module, without nvnet driver. Everything should be fine.
