Similar to cmf, I'm having trouble getting the nvidia driver to install in the defauly arch 2.6 kernel. I am using the minion.de patches, and I already have the driver installed for my 2.4 kernel. Here is the exact error message of make install:
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.0/build/Makefile: No such file or directory
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.0/build/Makefile: No such file or directory
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.0/build/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.0'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.0'
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make: *** [nvidia.ko] Error 1
Obviously looks like it's missin' the Makefile. I'm sure one would appear if I were to build my own kernel, but I'd rather not. Is there just somewhere else I need to point the installer, or am I missing something else?
Thanks a lot,

Did a little more looking into trying to find that make file. Realized the build directory is just a simlink back to /usr/src/linux. I renamed the current /usr/src/linux to 2.4, and pointed a new linux simlink to the 2.6 directory, but it still can't find the make file. Is there even one in the /usr/src/linux-2.6.0 directory somewhere?
Thanks,

Hehe, dammit. Thought someone would find this ammusing. Went to get the kernel sources, then realized 2.6.1 had been released, then realize slashdot had found out about it. Gonna figure out how much bandwidth is left for me now...

su
cd /var/abs/kernels/kernel26
makepkg
cd src/
rm -rf /usr/src/linux-2.6.1
mv linux-2.6.1 /usr/src
then patch your drivers according to minion.de

That is one damn slick way of doing it. Never even occured to me. I'll try it out as soon as I get a chance.
Thank you very much,

you may not have to actually do a whole build but if your processor is fast enough it never hurts because the resulting directory can than be used to rebuild some other packages without errors (ie in 2.4.2x having a complete source compiled on your computer will allow your to build alsa-driver without error ) or in the case of nvidia drivers prevent the cc mismatch error.

Yes, your suggestion worked like a charm. I have 2.6.1 with nvidia opengl. It's very nice.
Thanks again,
