Knoppix 5.0.1 and nvidia driver

[pravin]

Hi all,

I just installed a nvidia driver with command
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8762-pkg1.run

but I have the following error in file /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Building kernel module:

executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make module SYSSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.17/build'..
.
Makefile:266: /usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/Kbuild.include: Aucun fichier ou
répertoire de ce type
Makefile:486: /usr/src/linux-2.6.17/arch/i386/Makefile: Aucun fichier ou rép
ertoire de ce type
make[2]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « /usr/src/linux-2.6.17/ar
ch/i386/Makefile ». Arrêt.
nvidia.ko failed to build!

"Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type" means "no such file or directory"
"Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible" means "no rule to build target"

remark: I had already installed successfully driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run on Knoppix 3.4 without any problem!

Any help please. Thanks a lot.

i'm going to guess you are using 5.0.1CD... Maybe you did a hard drive install as well. I haven't looked at the DVD version but the CD has alot of the things you are talking about stripped... could be to save space for important programs, who knows. get the full source from kernel.org and compile a new kernel... 2.6.18rc1 is out, but stable 2.6.17.4 is a best bet.

Hi,

It is exactly Knoppix 5.0.1 CD version.
Thanks for your reply, I will download and compile a new kernel.

Pravin.
