If you compiled your own kernel, link /usr/src/linux to "linux-2.4.x". (This assumes you are using a 2.4.x kernel.) nVidia make scripts link to the running kernel. Assuming you download nVidia nForce drivers to /usr/src and vmlinuz-2.4.20-3-k7 is the running kernel: # cd /usr/src # ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.20-3-k7 linux-2.4.20 #stock kernel OR # ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.20 #for custom compiled kernel # tar -xzvf NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar. # cd nforce # make # make install set up your /etc/hosts set up your /etc/network/interfaces # modprobe nvnet # /etc/init.d/networking stop # /etc/init.d/detworking start For more complete info on how to get your mobo to work, see: http://attila.stevens-tech.edu/~dkopko/a7n8x.txt http://home.t-online.de/home/Johannes.Deisenhofer/nforce2linux.html > > Asus A7V8X mobo with > Broadcom 4400 onboard lan > SiS on board audio > > ATI All in Wonder 9700 AGP video. > DSL connection with a static address > Mark Healey > deblist@healeyonline.com > > Giving debian a chance. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
