Hi,
1° - I installed opensuse 11.2 with the Nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia, everything works OK.
2° - I cloned the kernel, then compiled it, this kernel boots OK.
3° - I installed the NVidia driver on this cloned kernel, X doesn't start !!
Did someone meet the same experience ? and what can be done ?
Thanks for reply. Regards. Michel.
You need to compile the nVidia driver for the cloned kernel, and to do this you need <cloned-kernel-type>-source and <cloned-kernel-type>-devel installed before you compile the driver.
Compile the driver, yes. The rest, no, as the right files are there after the kernel was compiled.
So, the basic tenet is: when you compile your own kernel you also need to compile the nvidia driver ( the *.run from nVidia) to fit the newly compiled kernel.
