Re: Nvidia + 2.6 kernel

[Noah Durell <noah.durell@gmail.com>]

Sorry for the lack of details.  I couldn't find the log file from the
previous install.  Anyway I tried installing the nvidia drivers again
by entering the command:

module-assistant auto-install nvidia

I get a warning about the rivafb module and it says there is no rule
to make target kernel-headers-2.6.8-1-686.  Let me know if you need
more information.
