See #236605.
Try patch from this bug, it might work for 173.14.12 legacy drivers.

an elegant fix for the wrong include and the deprecated call to kill_proc

I did this patch before finding out that the problem had already a fix with bug #236605. However, on the two points that I touched (the include and the reference to kill_proc), I do prefer my fix over the other patch.

[Comment 3 filip 2008-10-17 13:35:26 UTC]

I tried the patch - and unfortunately it's not enough. Now I get this error instead:

same patch but merged with smp fix

I hadn't noticed the problem with smp, since I don't use smp. This is the same patch I submitted earlier, but merged with the smp parts of the patch on bug #236605.
I tested this on 2 versions of nvidia-drivers and 2 versions of vanilla-sources (2.6.26 and 2.6.27.1), so it should work, I think.

That patch works for me.

[Comment 6 Stoian Ivanov 2008-11-04 10:41:51 UTC]

how about a patch for x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-96 series?

same patch but with a couple of fixes more

Thanks to Stoian, I took another look at that patch and found a couple of problems. Now they are fixed, and by my tests (more thorough this time) it should work on almost all versions of nvidia-drivers and on all kernels of the 2.6 family.
I tested on nvidia-drivers 71.86.06, 96.43.07 and 173.14.12 and on vanilla-sources versions 2.6.16.60, 2.6.26 and 2.6.27.1. Worked on all of them (compiled, booted and loaded).
But nvidia-drivers-177 does not accept the patch. Instead, it compiles well without it. (I did not boot and load it since my graphics card is not supported by nvidia-drivers-177.)

[Comment 8 Joan Ibanez 2008-11-06 13:26:46 UTC]

173.14.15 is out. And it has 'Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels'.

[Comment 9 Peter Read 2008-11-08 18:24:00 UTC]

what're the chances of a version bump to the .15 beta for ~arch?  (or even unkeyworded/masked)  Anyone not needing the legacy support on ~amd64 or ~x86 will be using the 177.x series anyway...

[Comment 10 Peter Read 2008-11-08 18:42:49 UTC]

(in case it helps the cause, I've just edited the ebuild to use ftp://download.nvidia.com instead of http://us.download.nvidia.com, digested and emerged and looks to be ok, although I've yet to reboot...)

old drivers ebuild using proposed patch works fine here

I didn't think this will take that long to go to portage .. so i'm adding the modified ebuild here

Created attachment 171632 [details, diff]
same patch with a small fix

Sorry about the last post. I am not well versed on bugzilla matters, so I didn't know what that "edit as comment" did. (Is there a way to edit the patch without resending it and obsoleting the last?)

Here is another commit of the patch. I noticed linux/semaphore.h had problems on old kernels. Fixed that.

[Comment 14 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2008-11-14 14:09:24 UTC]

Now that 173.14.15 adresses these problems with kernel-2.6.27 (see bug #246425 for reference), is this bug still needed?

[Comment 15 Bernd Pachur 2008-12-17 19:20:23 UTC]

When will 173.14.15 finally be in portage. The driver was released more than a month ago! Even if it is beta it could still be keyworded ~arch.

At the moment this bug is a blocker for me!

I need the 173.14.x branche because I have an older nvidia card that is not supported by the 177.x drivers.

If I do not want to mess around with local overlays, I have to decide either not to have X with legacy nvidia drivers or not to use the 2.6.27 kernels. The first option prevents the usage off the high end features of the card and the second option means not using the newest kernel and all the patches included (especially security related ones).

For now I will put 173.14.15 in my local overlay. But that can not be a general solution to this bug!

I think the severity of the bug should be changed from normal to block!
