From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: trying to biuld the kernel source module from nVIDIA's Drivers, will not install on the (null) beta due to gcc 3.21. The Driver modules gives the error: The Module was compiled with a gcc version 2 compiler where your kernel was compiled with a version 3 gcc. This is known not to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.get the newest NVIDIA_kernel package (rpm or src) from Nvidisas sit 2.unpack or try to install with rpm -ivh 3.try to do "make" to compile and install the module Actual Results: always fails to install, the compile actually works but when doing insmod NVDriever it gives the error. Expected Results: the module should load flawlessly Additional info: if there could be made some kind of choice to install gcc 2.9X it would be good, or even a choice of 2 kernels one compiled with gcc 2.9x and one with 3.21. I think a lot of people have Nvidia Cards and use their drivers.
gcc296 is in compat-gcc package. Or you can insmod -f if you think it will work. Best bug NVidia to either release gcc 3.2 compiled .o files, or even better opensource the drivers.
