m-a auto install failed with new kernel.....
Dear folks,
My laptop (hp G6062EA) seems to have upgraded to the latest kernel
debian:/home/mikef# uname -r
2.6.25-2-amd64
I tried to redo the kernel modification etc to reinstall nvidia drivers.....
Things seemed to work OK until I got to the m-a auto-install nvidia part.
debian:/home/mikef# m-a auto-install nvidia
Updated infos about 1 packages
Getting source for kernel version: 2.6.25-2-amd64
Kernel headers available in /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-amd64/build
apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libavutil1d libavcodec1d libpostproc1d libdc1394-13 libavformat1d
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Done!
unpack
Extracting the package tarball, /usr/src/nvidia-kernel.tar.bz2, please wait...
"/usr/share/modass/packages/nvidia-kernel-source" build KVERS=2.6.25-2-amd64 KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.25-2-amd64/build KDREV=2.6.25-3 kdist_image
debian:/home/mikef# uname -r
2.6.25-2-amd64
debian:/home/mikef#
debian:/home/mikef#
It got about 40% of the way though the installation and then conked with the following log file output that I could capture:
/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules clean ↑
│ make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel' ▮

The Debian nvidia howto talks about using pre-built modules or custom kernels if you get stuck at this stage.
Before trying this I would appreciate any suggestions you have.
