Does anyone know when suse will release an update to the current 9.1 64bit kernel? The current one is horribly buggy. I've tried using kernel of the day through apt-get but, have had no luck getting nvidia drivers (from minion.de) to work. (Crashes system at X startup). So for the moment i'm stuck with getting kernel oops's all the time from the suse_official. (2.6.4-54.5-default #1 Fri May 7 16:47:49 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) Any help with an approximate release date would be usefull.

Please tell us exactly what you do and the complete OOPS message. The latest update kernel works for us. Btw. I recommend to use install the nvidia driver via our Online Update. If the system crashes with the nvidia driver, you're out of luck, we do not have the source for it and cannot help you further.

Dunno what the real problem of the original poster is, but I suppose he has the same problems I got after installing the nvidia driver with YOU. I got lots of crashes: sometimes after logging out the whole system became unresponsive, sometimes it stopped working (even ssh-ing in wasn't possible), once the machine just rebootet after starting <dunno which 3D game it was>. Unfortunately I only have one stacktrace in my logs - I attach it to this mail After Adding NvAGP 1 to the Device section in my XF86Config the problems disappeared. Regards Michael
Hi Michael, Nvidia have not released compatible 2.6.x series drivers for the amd64 platform. To get the nvidia drivers to install they must be patched against the diff available at minion.de. Suse have been kind enough to have a patched module/driver availble through yast. The problem I was having was that when I upgraded the kernel using apt4rpm I couldn't get the patched nvidia drivers working. The onces shipped through yast work.. (Mostly) It is a known issue that the NVIDIA amd64 patched 2.6 kernel drivers are very buggy and unstable. I do get arbitrary crashes occasionally. Using the internal NVAGP driver makes things worse for me rather than better. So this is probably a chipset/video card difference. Hope this fills you in.

I have been reporting the opps as they occur. I'm using the Nvidia driver from YOU at the moment. I will try to remember to post whenever I get new situations where the kernel crashes. Kind regards Joel On Mon, 2004-05-24 at 02:05, Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Can't help you with a release date but for me this worked: Open your /etc/X11/XF86Config file and look for the device section which should look similar to this: Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce4 Ti 4200" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection Add Option "NvAgp" "1" right before the "EndSection" line Although I have no idea what it really means it works for me ;) hope this helps Michael
