If you go to NVidia'a site and download their kernel rpm it will install the files as I stated earlier. If you only use the default from SuSE you do not get any source files for building your own driver for the kernel version you have.
I think I may have mislead you. I am able to do: rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm with k_athlon-2.4.20-27.i586.rpm and below. The sources build and the kernel module installs, but when I try it with any k_athlon above 27, I get a modules source indicating 2.4.20-athlon and after the module builds, it tries to install and set it up. That is when I get the version mismatch. I don't have that problem with 27 and below. I do have the problem with anything above 27 so I can't use the newer kernels Mantel is making because of the way he's compiling them and not matching up with kernel version info with the source I'm using. Confusing to me, not being intimate with the source versions and all.... I don't understand what he's doing different with the newer kernels, but those at 27 and below work fine. Nothing since. Thanks for taking the time. -- Brad Shelton On Line Exchange http://ole.net Phone: 313-526-1111 Fax: 313-526-3333
