I'm getting errors when I try to load the NVdriver. I now have two copies
of the NVdriver -- one in /lib/modules/2.4.18 and the other in
/lib/modules/2.4.20. They are both the same size according to md5sum and
yet the 2.4.20 won't load (with insmod).
On the bright side, I did get my wireless working!
- boot into the new kernel
- cd /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs
- make config (use all defaults assuming correct link from
/usr/src/linux to the current kernel)
- make all
- make install
- /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
- <enter> to get the prompt back
- lsmod to check for correct modules loaded
- ping www.google.com to confirm the network is up
Et voila!
Now for the video card...
