Hi everybody, Newbie here...but learning. I'm trying to get the Nvidia Nforce 2 Drivers running on a pretty standard Debian Woody Install. I'm running the 2.4.18 kernel (the optional one in Woody (bf24), and the installer tells me that the kernel is not supported so I need to specify the source path. So I got the source for my kernel, all unpacked, ran the installer again with source path specified and now it tells me that I need to provide the source output path. I can't find any reference to this anywhere so can someone please give me some guidance? Does someone have an Nforce motherboard working properly with Debian at all? Thanks, Byron
You need at least a 2.4.24 (I think) or a 2.6.6 (again, I think) to get all the features of the nForce2. The advantage to updating the kernel is that all the support is already in the kernel tree and there is no need to compile external modules. Personally, I would recommend getting the latest 2.4 kernel source (either the kernel-source-2.4.27 package from Sid or one of the 2.4 kernel tarballs from kernel.org) and then use kernel-package to build it yourself. Instructions for that are available here: http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html HTH, -Roberto Sanchez
