Description George Garvey 2004-12-20 18:01:47 UTC
gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r9. From log: nvidia: Unknown symbol _smp_processor_id

Not sure what to provide that will assist. Please ask. System is P4 w/HT enabled. /usr/src/linux symlink is correct. Dropped back to 1.0.6629 for now.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/xdm stop
2. emerge -uDv world
3. reboot

Actual Results:  
nvidia module did not load, Said check dmesg when tried modprobe nvidia.

This problem is discussed at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=268416
The current workaround is to edit the line:
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/nv-disable-preempt-on-smp_processor_id-2.patch 
to:
epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/nv-disable-preempt-on-smp_processor_id.patch

I confirm having the very same issue with the 1.0-6629-r1 ebuild on both 2.6.10-rc3-bk10 and 2.6.10-rc3-bk13, the 1.0-6629 ebuild builds a working module on both kernels.

Already fixed, though. Thanks for your report, but please use the query function in bugzilla before writing up a new bug.
