hi list,
i think, there is a bug in the latest factory-kernel 2.6.27.13-2 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/.
at least the kernel source has a bug, i think.
i tried to install latest nvidia-driver 180.22 on an opensuse11.1 x86_64 system. former kernel 2.6.27.12-1 had no problems with this. but this time, it was not possible to load nvidia kernel module.
the installation-script stopped, and told me that the built kernel module can't be loaded.
there were also warnings about missing symbols at compile time.
this is the relevant part of dmesg-output when loading the driver: nvidia: Unknown symbol pv_mmu_ops nvidia: Unknown symbol pv_cpu_ops nvidia: Unknown symbol pv_irq_ops nvidia: Unknown symbol pv_lock_ops
it seems, the above symbols are missing.
this was not the case with 2.6.27.12-1.
i had to downgrade kernel to latest available 2.6.27.7-9 from oss-repo. with this version building the nvidia driver also was no problem. right now i am writing this mail with this setup.
there must have been some changes between 2.6.27.12-1 and 2.6.27.13-2 which have something to do with these missing symbols.
does anybody know anything about this error?
