Re: nvidia and stock kernel



Hi,

install kernel-headers-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8
got to /usr/src/
untar the nvidia-source.tar.gz
go to /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8

run 

CC=gcc-3.4 make-kpkg --append-to-version -9-amd64-k8 modules-image

and install the resulting
/usr/src/nvidia-kernel-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8_1.0.6629+1-1+1.0_amd64.deb
