Reinstalling?...oops?
Hey gang, Okay, I got the new kernel installed just fine, thanks to everyone for the advice. The problem now is, I can't get the 3D to work with my NVidia card like it did with the stock kernel for 8.0 (I'm still with 8.0, but using the k_athlon 2.4.19 now). I've tried SaX2 20 times, and when I get to the test part at the end, it keeps popping up with a window telling me it can't use the configuration for some reason. I've checked with 3ddiag...did the things it said to do, and still no go. I went to nvidia's website and downloaded and installed the newest drivers, and still no 3D. Anyone got any ideas? Everything else is working just fine and dandy (other than I lost the linux safe mode boot option in LILO, but I'm not worried about that). All my settings are as they were, everything is great except for my 3D. All help with this one is appreciated too. TIA. John
Hi, Maybe you could try with some of the older Nvidia drivers and see if that works? Or first install the Nvidia dummy drivers from the SuSE 8.0 DVD, and then use Online Update to download the Nvidia drivers from the SuSE ftp site. Or go back to 2.4.18 and reinstall the Nvidia drivers then. Jostein

Changing the kernel implies recompiling NVIDIA_kernel to match. Read /usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx/README. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Okay, I tried to rebuild the source rpm's first, and then tried what it said in that directory you just gave me, and I get the same result, this: linux:/usr/src/kernel-modules/nv_glx # make You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with a compiler different from the one that was used to compile the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and system crashes. If you know what you are doing and want to override this check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH. In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel. *** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! *** make: *** [gcc-check] Error 1 So what do I do now? It doesn't explain 'how' to "set" the ignore_cc_mismatch thing. Should I use that? What does it mean that it can't compile on this system? Everything is supposed to be the same other than the kernel itself, all my other things weren't changed...were they? I sure appreciate the help with this, and hope no one gives up on me. I just don't pick up on things very quickly as most people do. John

To ignore the versions mismatch, type: make IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=yes In stead of "yes", you can use any string, because the check (in the Makefile) is just on the length of the string (which must be non-zero): gcc-check: @if [ -z $(IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH) ]; then \
Should I use that? What does it mean that it can't compile on this system?
Just give it a try with my suggestion. The warning says "This may be perfectly fine, but there are cases ...". By ignoring the CC version mismatch, you at least will be able to compile the module. Only by actually loading the module, you will find out if it is going to work or crash. Good luck, Paul.

If it crashes, then the kernel should be recompiled and installed first. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
