Hi,
Because of a patch from -mm merged in mainstream i cannot get the nvidia
binary to work with the 2.6.6 release candidates. I get this message
when doing `modprobe nvidia`:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.6-rc2/video/nvidia.ko):
Invalid module format
On advice of mcp i tried reverting the following patch, which made it
load again.
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.5-rc3/2.6.5-rc3-mm4/broken-out/move-__this_module-to-modpost.patch
Is there any long-term solution for this comming up? TIA
- -Rik

that's the problem. It works for many people, for many others not. It always
worked fine for me too but I had to rip that out of my 2.6-WOLK tree to
satisfy all people using wolk and lack of knowledge to fix that by myself.
ciao, Marc

I had this problem, and I resolved it for me like this: In the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg?.run archive from Nvidia are multiple make
files. By default, my distro was using the make file "makefile" and it
stopped working. I switched to using "Makefile.kbuild", which is
oriented to 2.6 kernels, and it works again. Comments within
Makefile.kbuild touch on changes to module handling in 2.6 compared to
2.4.
