Description of problem: I tried to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7174-pkg2.run on kernel-2.6.11- 1.1287_FC4smp, Nvidia installer was failed. It seemed that compiling "nvidia.ko" was successful, but loading module was failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.11-1.1287_FC4smp How reproducible: Every Time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.install fc4 test2 with "Everything" and yum update 2.get http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-7174/NVIDIA-Linux- x86_64-1.0-7174-pkg2.run 3.Execute NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7174-pkg2.run Actual results: Nvidia VGA driver install ended with error. and nvidia.ko modules was not loaded. Installer messages were following. 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. Following is dmesg nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 NVRM: This IO region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid: NVRM: BAR1 is 0M @ 0x00000000 (PCI:0003:00.0) NVRM: The system BIOS may have misconfigured your graphics card. nvidia: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -1 NVRM: The NVIDIA probe routine failed for 1 device(s). NVRM: None of the NVIDIA graphics adapters were initialized! Expected results: It should be load nvidia.ko successfully. Additional info: Environment: MB: Intel SE7525GP2 CPU: Xeon 2.8G (EM64T) x2 Mem: 1GB x2 PCI-e x16: Nvidia GeForce 6200 PCI-e x4: Blank PCI: AHA-2940U/UW (It has 2 SCSI channel on a board) iTVC15 MPEG-2 Encoder IEEE 1394: TI IEEE-1394b (64bit PCI) SiI 3124 PCI-X Serial ATA RAID (PCI-X) SE7525GP2's BIOS setting has only "Dual Display(On board VGA and PCI-E)" and "Disable on board VGA" only. I also tried Fedora core 3 x86_64 with kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3, it was failed too. This hardware configuration was worked fine on Windows XP 32bit. I reported to linux-bugs, Nvidia said that the kernel does not know hot to handle 64 bit PCI I/O regions. Regards, Masahiro
