Wolf, as I wrote , I can not remove the nvidia-module-kernel, rpm -e says it's---------- Original Message ----------- From: david walcroft <david_walcroft@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, 03 Dec 2003 13:13:34 +1000 Subject: nvidia install with new 2129.nptl kernel
I seem to have the problem of removing the nvidia-module-kernel after
booting to 2129.nptl,as X didnt boot,I 'rpm -e' at the shell and 'rpm -U' rpm said that it is already installed. I then boot back to 2115.nptl but I cannot remove this rpm,even tried rebuilding 'rpmdb'
With this nvidia rpm,is there a method of installing to a non-active kernel similar to NVidia's .bin driver.
Thanks david.

You don't need to remove the NVidia kernel module. You just need to boot into the new kernel and recompile the Nvidia driver.
Goto to the directory where you stored the driver and issue the following:-
export CC=gcc32 ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run (Then follow the prompts)
The driver will be rebuilt for the new kernel. You will NOT need to change anything else. Run X, and all will run as before.
Just make sure that you have also gotten the Kernel Source as well, otherwise the above proceedure will not work. (For the new kernel that is)

not installed and rpm -U says it is.
I'll try your suggestion but I dont like orphans in the system and would prefer
to get the rpm out first.
