I downloaded the Nvidia driver binary from the Nvidia website last evening, and saved it to my home folder. Then, I booted the 2.6.37 kernel last evening to runlevel 3. After that I tried to cd to the place in my home folder where I saved the Nvidia driver so I could use the run command you gave me to install the driver in that kernel. But I couldn't cd to the driver.
Do you have more than *one* openSUSE operating systine installed? Sounds like the kernel is not in the same system.
From your current system, 2.6.34 kernel, do from the commandline: rpm -qa kernel* and provide results.
I played around with commands, and found that there was no home directory present with that kernel. So the upgrade to the 2.6.37 kernel went bad.
?? do from the cl: ls -la /home
I still have the 2.6.34 kernel entry in grub that I can use to boot the operating system, which happens to be what I am using now. Now I am wondering what is next? Why hasn't this upgrade to a new kernel worked for the last few months, and how do I get it to upgrade sucessfully?
