: But there is another question, is it necessary 'bigsmp'. TooMany Secrets should have a big machine (> 4GB RAM, etc) to need it.
No. My machine has 1 Gb RAM. The only question about to any especiallity into linux kernel, is about to smp, although it is not necessary.
Thanks.
In that case I would install kernel that ends with -default. That is smp kernel and perfectly fits your machine. The sources have to match running kernel, and than nvidia installation will not complain. Although someone removed advice for; cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig make prepare from article http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA in my experience, nvidia installer will not work without at least first 2 lines, ie, changing working directory to /usr/src/linux and than copy of current configuration: cd /usr/src/linux make oldconfig the only line that last version of nvidia installer didn't really needed was 'make prepare' . I added that too, just to make sure that every possible effort is made to have all bits ready. The guy that removed above 3 commands from article is, so far I know, one of kernel developers, and I don't go in discussion what is right, the SUSE kernel or nvidia installer creators. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
