Hi everyone.
I have now installed the latest kernel update for SuSE 8.1.
The two packages are:
k_deflt-2.4.21-203.i586.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.21-201.i586.rpm
I have run
# make cloneconfig && make dep
in /usr/src/linux.
I get the following error when doing make install in the nv source directory:
# make install Unable to determine kernel version. make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1
Can anyone help me with this please as I cannot use X11 now?
you could use the XFree nv driver for now, no? This is a guess only, and it may or may not work, but probably the symlink /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build , which is most likely /lib/modules/2.4.21-203-default/build points to /usr/src/linux-2.4.21-203-include or something. you could try to force a symlink to the right kernel headers/kernel source here: ln -sf /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build and try again. assuming that -201 and -203 are basically only different builds and not something actually changed in the kernel sources, this should work well.
