The NVidia binary only kernel module is currently not compatible with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 series kernel, and is not supported. It will need changes to work and since it's a binary only module it's out of our hands. Created attachment 90587 [details]
This is the kernel module that we want to rebuild
We have to rebuild this module because there is no other one available from
nVidia web site that applies for Enterprise RedHat WS 2.1 kernel.
Appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks.
As mentioned above, we do not support binary kernel modules, and nVidia's binary drivers are incompatible with the kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. The changes that are required in order for it to work must be done by Nvidia since their driver is binary only which means that we do not have the source code. Please contact Nvidia directly to find out what operating system platforms they officially support, and how to obtain support for a given OS platform. |
