First of all sorry is this is not the right place to put this but after the last kernel update i can't compile the nvidia drivers.It seems that the kernel was compiled with gcc 4.1 and the gcc in current is 4.0.2.
Output of nvidia-installer.log:
Using built-in stream user interface
-> License accepted by command line option.
-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0-
7676). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-8174), the existing
driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes)
-> Not probing for precompiled kernel interfaces.
-> Performing CC test with CC="cc".
-> gcc-version-check failed:
The compiler used to compile the kernel (gcc 4.1) does not exactly match the
current compiler (gcc 4.0). The Linux 2.6 kernel module loader rejects kern
el modules built with a version of gcc that does not exactly match that of t
he compiler used to build the running kernel.
If you know what you are doing and want to ignore the gcc version check, sel
ect "No" to continue installation. Otherwise, select "Yes" to abort install
ation, set the CC environment variable to the name of the compiler used to c
ompile your kernel, and restart installation. Abort now? (Answer: Yes)

Yes. kernel.log tells gcc version 4.1. Nvidia won´t install here too. Argh :twisted:

i'm working on a solution please be patient.

Hi,
I upgraded to the latest nvidia driver today and ran into this.
# pacman -S nvidia
Targets: nvidia-1.0.8174-1
Total Package Size: 5.9 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
installing nvidia... done.
IMPORTANT
==> In order to use the software, you have to agree to NVIDIA's license located in
==> /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/LICENSE else please remove this package
Installation starts now ...
INSTALLATION FAILED!
==> You have to shutdown Xserver to finish installation! You have to rerun 'pacman -S nvidia'
==> Other installation errors can be found at: /var/log/nvidia-installer.log
If you need more information about setting up nvidia drivers have a look at:
"http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … DIA_driver"
rm: cannot remove `/usr/lib/libGL.la': No such file or directory
FATAL: Module nvidia not found.
removing the drivers gave me this:
# pacman -R nvidia
removing nvidia... ==> Deinstallation starts now!
==> Don't forget to update your /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf!
done.
ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules
i'm now using "nv". i ran pacman in CLI. what did i do wrong?

Just do a
pacman -S testing/gcc
That'll fix it.

No way. I guess that would break lots of other things too at the moment.
Better would be a new kernel release compiled with gcc from current.
Offline
You can install testing/gcc, install nvidia and return to current/gcc.
Shouldn't break anything...
At least for me it worked nice. (I still have testing/gcc)
Offline
You shouldn't have to do this. :-/
The best fix is a kernel compiled with the gcc from current.
Offline
new kernel will come soon, nvidia cannot be patched, gcc 4.0.2 kernel built will come as fast ass possible

FYI: I could load the module with "modprobe --force-vermagic". However, I couldn't start X with it. Error message "couldn't load nvidia".
Offline
in 2 hours new kernel will go online so please be patient, thanks

Hi,
When will the new kernel be availabe? Been more than a few hours
Would be nice to have X back again without having to downgrade the kernel.
Cheers,
Jon

In todays arch digest tpowa mentions that you could use nvidia from testing, however I cannot see it. Whats going on?

Maybe I'm missing something -- "nv" works just fine here. Is there some reason that folks can't just use that until the new kernel is available?

I suggest you hit the "profile" link at the top of the forum and set your time zone appropriately, so the times listed on the posts are accurate.

thanks very much tpowa!
Offline
Yep, thanks for the response!
note: I didn't reboot to the new kernel yet - I guess I'll have to wait until my mirror gets the correct one before

For me it works now fine. Seems to be solved.

Yeah I just compiled my own kernel, after much headache with that initrd...
