Bug#288812: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686: upgrade from v2 to v6 breaks nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686
Version: 2.4.27-6
Severity: normal
Following an upgrade from 2.4.27-2 to -6,
the nvidia module from nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-1-686
stopped being able to be loaded, reporting unresolved symbols
even to an explicit "modprobe nvidia".
Forcible downgrade of the kernel back to 2.4.27-2 solved the problem,
thanks go to those on #debian that told me about the snapshots
server where I could get the old .deb.
I have preserved the aptitude log documenting the upgrade,
and the XFree86.0.log and kern.log with both sane pre-upgrade
and failing post-upgrade traces. Unfortunately, I didn't preserve
the exact unresolved symbols info; but, if needed, can re-create the
problem and get a log of that as well.
If any of the above logs or the unresolved symbols log is needed, please
tell, and I'll be happy to send it as well.
