Hey ho, From my very first steps with Debian, I was taught to compile kernel sources myself, rather than the proverbial Debian way, so that's what I've been doing ever since. After compilation, an "sh ./NVIDIA_binary_driver_package.run" has never failed on me, until recently. For some reason, when it's done building the kernel module, it fails to load it. Its error log (/var/log/nvidia-installer.log) then states this: nvidia: version magic '2.6.11.11-zukunft preempt PENTIUM4 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2' should be '2.6.11.11-zukunft preempt PENTIUM4 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3 I try my very best, but I just can't see the problem... /proc/version definitely shows the kernel was compiled with "gcc version 3.3.6", so why is my kernel showing version magic including "gcc-3.2"? Googling the error message merely points to faulty symlinks or sources that don't match the running kernel, but those can't be the problem. Since I've never done this any other way, I can't imagine I'm doing something wrong, but of course, there are lots of things I never had to wonder about anyway... Could someone perhaps enlighten me on what the problem could be?
