IA32 5336 NV driver and SMP Debian/Woody system: unresolved reference to smp_num_cpus
I have a Debian/Woody/Stable system with a NVIDIA XFX FX-5200 card
installed in the AGP slot. I am running 2.4.25 in smp mode compiled from
source in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.25 directory. A backported "top"
program and other ways reveals that the system is running fine in
hyperthreaded mode (simulating 4 processors).
I have tried to install the 5336-pkg1 both with the nvidia-installer and
with the "make install" from source. Both ways will not allow the driver
to run due to an unresolved reference to smp_num_cpus.
I have already tried all the options available to for the installer to
recognize the correct source directory. Indeed, the driver compiles
correctly, but will not link to the reference (or it is not found on the
compile step).
Please help fix this problem. Attached is the

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
and it has unresolved symbols. Contact the module supplier for
assistance, only they can help you.
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.o'. This is most likely
because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.
Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source
files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
'--kernel-source-path' commandline option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
