Hi All,For 2.6.10 kernels you should apply a couple of patches to the driver before installing it. You will need the latest driver from nVidia (6629)The patches are attached. To install them, just do the do the following:
I have installed fc3 x86_64 on my compaq R3000.
I have upgraded my kernel recently to
kernel-2.6.10-1.741_FC3 and reinstalled the NVIDIA
drivers. But whenever I type the "modprobe nvidia".
It gives me the error message:
nvidia: Unknown parameter `'
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia
(/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.741_FC3/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see
dmesg)
Has anybody faced the same problem ?
Thanks & Regards, Biswadip.
