Re: [LAU] Finally build 2.6.26 that works

"Nvidia .... always a problem, it seems. Neither nvidia's nor debian's legacy driver (for mx400 cards) will compile. Debian's (where I had the sources and could play a bit) complains about an implicit definition of __SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER. This is inside a #define that stuffs a mutex structure. I tried breaking this into a function and a #define but the constant is the problem, not how it was being used. Any ideas?" Fortunately, it's not too difficult to work around. Code: apt-get update;apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source sed -i '/__SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/ s/__SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/__COMPAT_SEMAPHORE_INITIALIZER/' /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv-linux.h sed -i '/struct semaphore/ s/struct semaphore/struct compat_semaphore/' /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv-linux.h See this page, down the bottom.. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=17035&postdays=0&postorder… Hope this helps Norv Make the switch to the world's best email.
