[SOLVED]nvidia PKGBUILD doesn't install in custom kernel

slacknatcher · 2009-11-04 01:04:30

hello folks

anyone has experienced problem installing the nvidia driver 190.42 in a custom kernel?

i never got anykind of issues installing this driver in my customs kernel, but this update in particular has making my kernel unusable ( for desktop use )

i am using the 2.6.31.5 compiled with safe options and working before the update

i got this when i am trying to install it

Creating directory NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.42-pkg0
Verifying archive integrity... OK
Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 190.42.........................................
If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***

make: *** [select_makefile] Error 1

my kernel is compiled for K8 amd (x86_64)

and the PKGBUILD and te nvidia.install file are fine too , customized.

look

}

post_remove() {

anyone has experienced the same issue? is in a bugtracker? the packager know that this issue exist?
thanks in advance

did you change

_kernver='2.6.31.5'

to your custom kernel name?

slacknatcher · 2009-11-04 02:44:29

yes my custom kernel name is 2.6.31.5 and the modules are in /lib/modules/2.6.31.5
the archlinux kernel is under the name of 2.6.31-ARCH and it has his modules under /lib/modules/2.6.31-arch

and yes y put _kernver=2.6.31.5 like you could see above

i see that now. sorry

got me bud

ngoonee · 2009-11-04 07:22:48

Its a problem with your custom kernel not having some file or other that the nvidia Makefile looks for, I believe. Had this issue with kernel26rt and kernel26-ice before. I believe it was solved by symlinking something in /usr/src...

s3kt0r · 2009-11-04 09:29:40

_kernver='uname -r'

try that.

klixon · 2009-11-04 10:37:24

you should check if /lib/modules/2.6.31.5/build is a symlink to your kernel source-tree
if it is, did you run make clean after building the kernel?
if so, go to your kernel source-tree and run this

make modules-prepare

and try again

slacknatcher · 2009-11-04 19:01:27

i tried the "make modules-prepare" and i didn't work :S,
i tried to install the nvidia driver in the oldschool-way and i noted that i am missing a file, specifically the /lib/modules/2.6.31.5/build/include/linux/version.h doesn't exist !, that is weird :S never happened me before, now i am going to rebuild my kernel and see if a did something wrong :S

or there is another way to recover the version.h without rebuild?, if anyody know please say it !, it would safe me from recompile ! XD

thanks in advance

here's mine that works on 2.6.31-zen6 for reference. I'm way too lazy to run diff on both atm

slacknatcher · 2009-11-06 20:47:36

well i finally surrender and back to windows ... ( just kidding XD)

no i rebuild the kernel and everyworks fine :S weird, i don't really know what erase my version.h :S

i am going to maked as solved
