Linux kernel 2.6.29 and Nvidia problem

[super soaker]

Hello,
I can not compile the driver for my Nvidia Slackware 2.6.29. I tried several different drivers, 177,180,185 (7300 to GS).

The uname command returns me this:
uname-m: i686
uname-r: 2.6.29.1
uname-a: Linux 127 2.6.29.1 # 2 Fri Apr 10 19:31:57 CDT 2009 i686 Intel (R) Pentium (R) D CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU / Linux

Every time I run the installation script of Nvidia, I have this message in / var / log / nvidia-install.log:

Kernel messages:
nvidia: version magic'2 .6.29.1-smp SMP mod_unload 686 'should be'2 .6.29.1 mod_unload 486': frown:
Installation has failed.

Under the kernel 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, there was no concern, but I wanted to 2.6.29 for the benefit of ext4. : love: Does this error you talking about? I checked the Makefile sources, the variable EXTRAVERSION "is set to .1

Should a particular file? but I see no solution to how to turn, so if someone has an idea, thank you!

It's pretty simple to fix. Grab your Nvidia driver package, like "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.44-pkg0.run" for example and extract it with "./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.44-pkg0.run -x". Then do "cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.44-pkg0/usr/src/nv" and open "nv.c" there.

Locate all instances of code mentioning "owner" like ".owner = THIS_MODULE," and comment it out by using /* */ like this for example "/*.owner = THIS_MODULE,*/". Save the result and install the driver by going into the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.44-pkg0" folder the extraction created and use "./nvidia-installer" to compile and install the kernel module against the 2.6.29 kernel source. This works with the ALSA module too.

I have a look at an article on the Internet called for creating a symlink from / usr / src / kernel to / usr/src/kernel-2.6.29. It does nothing, it is a symlink.

In the meantime I found another article about this potential problem symlink, I'll try soon. I will also try to create the module nvidia.ko, but at the end of the installation everything is cleaned. Apparently, the command that allows you to mount the kernel has an option to force the assembly.

I plunged my concern. I saw that Nvidia has released a new driver, stamped 180.51. it brings so-called "better compatibility with newer Linux kernels. I am trying to download slackware-current, with kernel 2.6.29. Provided that it works
