Just installed the kernel update for 8.2, with source, I uninstalled the old nvidia drivers. I rebooted to init 3 and attempted to install the new drivers and keep receiving the error can not locate kernel.h (header files).

Assuming you've installed the kernel-source rpm, do cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep touch /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h Then the nvidia driver should install cleanly

What kernel version did you install? 2.4.20-62 ?

Hi Guys, I did the kernel update via YOU and it went perfectly; I needed to do nothing about the nvidia drivers. PeterB On Wednesday 18 June 2003 10:00 pm, Gary A. Garibaldi wrote:

Dear Anders, I took what YOU offered. Explain real please. Does that mean that getting the patch does not have same effect as getting the "real" RPM? PeterB On Thursday 19 June 2003 07:55 am, Anders Johansson wrote:

That probably means you got the patch rpms, and not the real ones.

The patch RPM is a special type of RPM that only contains the differences between the old and the new. It patches instead of replaces, which is likely why you got to keep the nvidia driver. As long as you have the old rpm the result is exactly the same, but you can't use the patch rpm unless you already have the rpm it is built against, so you can't use it in future if you want to downgrade from a failed kernel upgrade, for example
