[gentoo-user] Nvidia & kernel 3.0

[gentoo-user] Nvidia & kernel 3.0

[Philip Webb]

Has anyone else run into a problem trying to compile Nvidia with kernel 3.0 ?

AFAIK I have the correct symlink to the kernel source

  root:601 src> pwd
  /usr/src
  root:602 src> ls -l
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   19 Aug  2 11:04 linux -> linux-3.0.0-gentoo/
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1648 Dec 14  2010 linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r1
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1640 Jan 21  2011 linux-2.6.37-gentoo
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1640 Apr 11 03:06 linux-2.6.38.2
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1640 Apr 10 08:51 linux-2.6.38-gentoo
  drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 1640 Aug  2 11:16 linux-3.0.0-gentoo

yet when I try to emerge 'nvidia-drivers-270.41.19',
it tells me "*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***"

I originally had the default kernel name '3.0',
which brought the same error msg, so changed it to '3.0.0',
but both names cause the same result.

275.21 from ~ work ok with 3.0...

3.0 seems to be still ~, so i guess that for unstable kernel you might
need unstable drivers...

Thanks: indeed, there's no problem with the latest driver.
