But, if I had to boot the standard kernel, is there a
way I could
install the NVidia drivers from there? How do I tell them to compile
against the lowlat CCRMA kernel? How do I tell them to install to
the appropriate place? It doesn't seem like this would be terribly
difficult. I just don't know what parameters/environment variables
to change.
Thanks,
Greg
from the nvidia documentation :
.....
Since the Linux kernel does not support a binary driver interface, we
provide for rebuilding these files on the target machine (or
distribution)
and then linking with the binary version of the NV kernel driver.
$ make
This will produce one of the following files depending on the system
include directory used to do the build:
NVdriver: which is the installable kernel driver module for
single processor Linux systems
If you want to build NVdriver for a system other than the compiling
system, then you'll need to run the make as:
$ make SYSINCLUDE=/src/kern/my-smp-kernel/include
to generate an NVdriver that will work on the kernel whose include
files are in /src/kern/my-smp-kernel/include. This kernel must
have been completely configured (make menuconfig dep).
.....
i hope this helps
