That got me one step closer. Now the --rebuild goes fine, but when I do the rpm -ivh, it comes up with depmod: /lib/modelses/s.4.18-4GB/modules.ieee1394map is not an ELF file depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/modules.pnpbiosmap depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/NVdriver /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/NVdriver: unresolved symbol kmap_page table /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/NVdriver: insmod /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/NVdriver failed /lib/modules/s.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/NVdriver: insmod NVdriver failed Have any suggestions for this?

I have upgraded my kernel from 2.4.17 to 2.4.18 with no problem, but now need to rebuild the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0.2314.src.rpm. When I do the rpm --rebuild (after rebooting into the new kernel in run level 3) I get 290 lines similar to the following. /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/build/include/linux/modversions.h:290: linux/modules/zorro.ver: No such file or directory.
Being new to Linux, I am not sure what the above line is telling me. (This rebuild went off without a hitch with 2.4.17 kernel). The modversions.h file is in the directory shown above, I looked at the modversions.h file and seen the "#include
" line along with the other 289 modules. The zorro.h file is in /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/build/include/linux/ directory along with the other files. So, I am confused. Should the modversion.h file have the linux/modules/ before the zorro.ver or should these files be in a /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/build/include/linux/linux/modules directory. There is a /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/build/include/linux/modules directory, but it is empty.
Could anyone clarify the confusion please?
Did you get the kernel-source.rpm from mantel? If so, you need to do cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep Then the rebuild should work. Since you could do a rebuild on 2.4.17 I assume you have the necessary patches to the nvidia code, so you shouldn't need to do any more than the above. //Anders -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq and the archives at http://lists.suse.com
