Can you check your syslog and see if you have any kernel OOPS-es that may be related to USB at the same time that NVidia is being insmod-ded ?
Found Oopses, but the kernel trace indicates it's related to reiserfs or lvm. They come in the log right after nvidia 5328 is loaded. Everything is fine with 4496.
This can be fixed by installing the packages from the minion.de site. check the nvnews forum for full details.
I had similar oopses, installed the 2.6 patched version (yes, it does work under 2.4).
Bascially what you do is: go to http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/ download the pkg0.run file telinit 3 sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg0.run --extract-only cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg0 make
I have downloaded the package from the above site (but have not yet tried to install it).
While on that site, I noticed that it also had a driver with the number 4620 which does not match any number at the nVidia site.
Anyone know what this 4620 is all about?
Cheers.
At 02:00 GMT this side, I'm too lazy to look, but some of the drivers are for x86_64. Are you willing to fund me an AMD 64 + motherboard and memory for that answer?
Nope. Get out own AMD64 + motherboard :-) . The first thing I did before asking the Q above is check out the nVidia site and, as I said, there is no mention of #4620 at all for any of the CPU/OS versions. So, the Q stands: what is the #4620 all about?
I haven't tried the driver yet as I want to use it with 2.6.0-mm1 kernel perhaps tomorrow when I've had some sleep and I am not in a coffee stupor, having just waded through an hour and a half of hand patching 2.6.0-mm1 with the laptop patch.
Stay away from coffee. It can do very strange things to you when consumed in large quantities. I ended up with coffee poisoning, according to my doctor, some years. Couldn't walk without hanging on the walls and generally had much trouble in walking. Doc asked me how much coffee I drank and I told. Stopped drinking coffee and got back to normal. Haven't touched coffee since - only have a cup when we have guests for dinner. Otherwise I only drink green jasmine tea. Cheers. -- Indecision is the key to flexibility.
