I am running a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Ge Force 5200 64meg
video card. I downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia’s website
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run. I followed the instructions in their
read.me exactly and had no problems with the installation. During the
installation it did ask if I wanted NVIDIA to install a new kernel and I did
select yes. Here is where the problem is I was configuring
xorg.conf as follows: Section "Monitor" Identifier
"Monitor0" VendorName
"Monitor Vendor" ModelName

and the system rebooted. It rebooted normally it checked audio storage
network hardware ok then it said “configuring kernel parameters”
and freezes. The only thing I can do at that point is power down the
machine. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Cheers, Mathew |
