Hello all,
I've managed to set up nvidia drivers before on this amd64 machine, but
since I've upgraded to my new kernel 2.6.11 with realtime-lsm, nvidia
module doesn't want to work.
Have you tried using a vanilla kernel (e.g. 2.6.11.7), without the
realtime-lsm patches?
Also I have noticed that NVidia does not work well with unordered IO.
(CONFIG_UNORDERED_IO). I would check to see is this was set in your
kernel congiguration.

Is the culprit the AGP setting? Try setting it to 2 (use Linux own
AGPgart driver) or 0 (no not initialize AGP) for debugging purposes. I
never understood why NVidia supplied their own AGP driver, as I have
never made it work properly. Also make sure that the graphics card has
an IRQ (look at lspci -v output). If you have compiled with ACPI, you
system log should print a line like:
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86_64 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7174 Tue
Mar 22 06:45:40 PST 2005
When loading the nvidia kernel module.
Looking further at your log, I see that you try loading the dri and
glcore modules. These should be replaced by GLX module when using the
'nvidia' driver. This, however, should not result in the error you are
seeing.
Hope it helps
