Re: nVidia drivers
hi all,
i'm trying to install the nvidia driver on my machine (uname -r gives
2.6.8-11-amd64-k8). i've tried to follow the different paths suggested
in this thread - not much success so far :(.
Method #1 as described in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian ('debian/rules
binary_modules') has a long output
(pasted at the end of this message), but ends with:
------- quote start --------------
NVIDIA: calling KBUILD...
make CC=gcc-3.4 -C /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8
SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv modules
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8'
make[3]: scripts/Makefile.build: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/Makefile.build'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [_module_/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8'
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2
--------- quote end -----------------------------
(btw, shouldn't it be 'nvidia' and not 'nv'?)
Method #2 ('make-kpkg modules_image') fails too with:
-------------- quote start --------------------
/usr/bin/make \
ARCH=x86_64 oldconfig
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8'
make[2]: scripts/Makefile.build: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/Makefile.build'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-11-amd64-k8'
make: *** [stamp-kernel-configure] Error 2
----------------- quote end ------------------
i'm pretty lost (and edgy, after browsing TONS of manuals and links).
any suggestions anyone?
thanx,
Avishai.
oooh, here's the long output of method #1:
------------ quote start ----------------------
