Re: nvidia module and 2.6.16 kernel problem

I have installed the new 2.6.16 kernel on two machines running Debian

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.


I am not sure if we have the same problem.

On my recently upgraded system the module-assistant fails with a message
"/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.16-1 seems to contain unconfigured kernel source"

None of the suggested commands seems to be able to fix this problem.

What exactly does this message mean and how can "configure kernel source"
so that module-assistant is happy.
