I just downloaded the updated kernel for suse 8.2. When I tried to install the new NVidia driver, it said the driver didn't match the kernel. So I let try to build a kernel module. It gave a "gcc mismatch error, your running kernel was compiled with a different version of gcc than you are using." Great! This is the second time I've had this problem. Does anyone know which compiler was used for the latest OFFICIAL kernel for suse 8.2? I don't mean the Mantel "next" kernel, but the production kernel which now distributes with online update. The only way I could fix this in the past was to download the matching compiler. SuSE should make it a practice of keeping the compiler standardized for the life of a particular release. Especially considering I pointed this out to their techs the last time it happened. John S.
