I have installed the new 2.6.16 kernel on two machines running Debian Sid and tried to install nvidia module. On both machines, the module compilation (using module-assistant) fails with some error messages (IIRC there was some error about rlim structure not being defined). Searching google has hinted that there is a patch for nvidia package from Nvidia. I was wondering if a Debian nvidia package is forthcoming that fixes this problem. ->HS
Like stated, it depends on how and what you are trying to install. I install the nVidia driver: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7167-pkg1.run directly on 2.6.16-ck1 and found this patch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=62889 which refers to: NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8178-1444349.diff.txtand if you apply that to the extracted file it applies and the driver then compiles.
