From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: The closed source NVIDIA video driver was possible to install with 2.6.8 kernels such as 2.6.8-1.624 but it will not install with 2.6.9-1.667 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel version 2.6.9-1.667 2. Run NVIDIA installer 3. Actual Results: ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'. This is most likely because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' rpm installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' commandline option. -> Kernel module load error: insmod: error inserting './usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. Expected Results: The nvidia.ko kernel module should build and install. Additional info: The full installer log is available at: http://www.gagme.com/greg/tmp/nvidia-installer.log
