I'm running fc6 on an Athlon 64 x86_64 system. I've tried installing the nvidia proprietary drivers from the nvidia web site. I've also tried installing the nvidia rpm. Neither work - I get a error trying to build the driver. The complete log file form installing the rpm is shown at the end. Immediately below is the part that says the kernel configuration is invalid: KBUILD_EXTMOD="/tmp/selfgz17924/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-8776-pkg2/usr/src/n v" -f /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-x86_64/Makefile modules test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo; \ echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are mis sing."; \ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it ."; \ echo; \ /bin/false) I'm not sure exactly how to do: Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it Any ideas on how to fix this problem? The proprietary driver worked fine under FC5 and earlier.
