Installing nvidia driver ; Detecting ethernet card with new kernel
Hi,
I just installed woody. The installation discs installed kernel
2.2.20-compact. I have been struggling with installing the nvidia Riva
TNT-2 driver. I downloaded the package
"NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2.run" from the nvidia site.
I tried the following steps :
1) As per instructions, I tried to run "sh
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-4496-pkg2.run". This told me that a precompiled image
was not available for the above kernel-image
2) So, I downloaded the kernel-headers for 2.2.20-compact and tried to use
the "-kernel-include-path=" option while installing the driver. This
failed with the following error
"Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out" (I have gcc 2.95.4)
3) So, I decided to upgrade my kernel. I download kernel version 2.4.18
(image only) and again tried step (1). Again, a precompiled kernel wasn't
found with the nvidia installer.
4) So, I again downloaded kernel-headers and kernel-sources and tried
using "--kernel-include-path=" option while installing the driver. This
again failed with the following error :
"Unable to load kernel module nvidia.o. This is most likely because the
kernel module was built using the wrong kernel header files.".
I am attaching the nvidia-installer.log files associated with Steps (2)
and Steps (4) at the end of this email.
Can someone help me with this ?
Also, another related question with kernel upgrade. After installing
kernel 2.4.18 (didnt compile it from souce, just used the image), when I
boot in the new kernel, the OS doesnt detect my ethernet card anymore
(the card is detected by the old kernel - 2.2.20-compact). It is a 3Com
3c905 card.
Question : Do I need to reconfigure stuff for the new kernel so that it
detects the card again ? If so, how do I do it ?
Thanks in advance,
Shriram Ramanathan.

You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
