Try linking /usr/src/linux to the full kernel source tree and not the headers.
Installed lernel-source-2.6.6 and kernel-headers-2.6.6-1 386 using kpackage. (edited from gozar's helpfull post)

(**** help, i thoghut copying the knoppix kernal config would mean all questions would have been settup as per the orriginal knoppix kernel copile, but no, it asks ....
486 emulation (X86_EMU486) ?
Local APIC support on uniprcessors (X86_UP_APIC)?
IO-APIC support on uniprocessors (X86_UP_IOAPIC) ?
SCSI media changer support (CHR_DEV_SCH)?
Enable /dev/psaux device by default (INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX_ENABLE)?
everything else has been answered by the script, i answered yes to the questions it still asks above, but i would like to know how the knoppix kernel was compiled exactly.
Download Nvidia driver from http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/
(2.6 kernel drives now in root of this page, older drivers in sub dirs)
/etc/init.d/kdm stop
export SYSSRC=/usr/src/linux
cd to where you downloaded the nvidia driver
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run
*** here's the flaw
nvidia : version magic '2.6.6 preempt 386 gcc-2.95' should be '2.6.6 SMP preempt 386 gcc-2.95'
stops compiling..
(thinks... checks) right, i'd forgotten that i HAD seen SMP packages on kpackage to download but ignored them as id don't run SMP here....
arg... double checked kpackage, the SMP sources are seperate packages entirely, ! but the 2.6.6-386-SMP packages aren't there! :o(
help ?

erm i did 'ln -s kernel-source-2.6.6 linux' which is the 34.8mb bz2 uncompressed, it wasn't linked to the headers.Originally Posted by kelmo
the kernel compiles fine, it's just the wrong version (non SMP) , so the nvidia driver wont compile..
That's: make mrproperOriginally Posted by Yakumo
try cat /proc/versioncp /boot/config-2.6.6cp / ./.config
export CC=gcc-2.95
This should tell witch gcc version tha's uset to compile kernel 2.6.6

Are you sure you copyed the right kernel config?
run make menuconfig486 emulation (X86_EMU486) ?

before you run make and enable smp
If i could get my hands in the 2.6.6 config file, maby i could take a look at it!

the gcc version (2.95) is correct, i'd learnt which versio from an error message when i'd first tried to compile it.Originally Posted by Gozar
the config cp was abit of a typo, i've corrected it to 'cp /boot/config-2.6.6 ./.config'
and it is the correct config, the only other one there is "config-2.4.26"
i'll try send it to you in a PM. i'll try your other suggestions in the morning thoguh as i can't leave the machine on overnight, it keeps me awake, and it takes a good hour or two to compile..If i could get my hands in the 2.6.6 config file, maby i could take a look at it!
thanks for your help, i'm very new to linux as you must have guessed :)
problem.... :
and i hadn't realised PM's were disabled, i can't send the config-2.6.6 file that way, it's 53k so i'd think little too lrge to just paste here in the forum also.... ?Code:make menuconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35, from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:24, from scripts/basic/fixdep.c:107: /usr/include/bits/socket.h:305:24: asm/socket.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2

mail you the full config.
i guess it has something to do with
CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y
or
CONFIG_X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG=y
?
Well this all seems entirely too complicated for me. I do this:
voila!Code:apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.6 cd /usr/src tar xjvf kernel-source-2.6.6.tar.bz2 ln -s kernel-source-2.6.6 linux cd linux make menuconfig make-kpkg buildpackage -rev your-version kernel_image cd .. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.6_your-version_i386.deb kernel-headers-2.6.6_your-version_i386.deb Nvidia driver. I have had no luck w/ the 5336 driver, 2.6.* and nforce1 Asus mobo. YMMV wget http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh OR wget http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-5336-debian.sh chmod +x install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh CTRL+ALT+F1 ./install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh
Works first time everytime and takes about 15 minutes on my XP2200+ w/ 1G system RAM.
If you can't get Kano's script to work (although I can't imagine why it wouldn't) you can get one of these:
http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/linux-2.6/
Also works first time everytime.

Ofcurse this works. You are replacing the knoppix kernel with your own custum kernel.Code:apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.6 cd /usr/src tar xjvf kernel-source-2.6.6.tar.bz2 ln -s kernel-source-2.6.6 linux cd linux make menuconfig make-kpkg buildpackage -rev your-version kernel_image cd .. dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.6_your-version_i386.deb kernel-headers-2.6.6_your-version_i386.deb Nvidia driver. I have had no luck w/ the 5336 driver, 2.6.* and nforce1 Asus mobo. YMMV wget http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh OR wget http://kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-5336-debian.sh chmod +x install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh CTRL+ALT+F1 ./install-nvidia-4620-debian.sh
The issue is that tou need the source for the running kernel, as you are making your own kernel you got it.
However all users is not as advanced as you.
