 |
|
Hi,
when I compile the kernel (make && make modules_install) I get this Warning:
| Code: | | depmod: WARNING: /lib/modules/4.1.15-gentoo-r1/video/nvidia-modeset.ko needs unknown symbol nvidia_get_rm_ops |
I found an old entry here (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-837232-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html) but it is not working and the entry:
| Code: | | CONFIG_AGP_NVIDIA=m |
is not in my kernel anymore!
Any idears? |

So do you have nvidia-drivers installed or no?
Could you pastebin(pastebin.com) your kernel .config please

Do you use Optimus ? If not :
- perhaps disabling KMS will help ;
| Code: | #
# Direct Rendering Manager
#
(...)
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y
# CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set |
- all the Intel stuff is useless.
| Code: | #
# Graphics support
#
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD64 is not set
CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
CONFIG_INTEL_GTT=y
(...)
#
# I2C encoder or helper chips
#
(...)
CONFIG_DRM_I915=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y
CONFIG_DRM_I915_FBDEV=y |

Thx! No I don't use Optimus and I deactivated the KMS in the kernal and run
| Code: | | emerge --ask @module-rebuild |
I get still the same error message!
If you say the intel stuff is useless shoud I than disable them in the kernel? |

Your warning message isn't informative (see Gentoo Bugzilla Guide).

it means your modules have change, and the nvidia-modeset.ko module was build for your previous kernel.
howto fix it? just re-emerge nvidia-drivers and they will link against your "now current" kernel.
if really nvidia need something your kernel now lack, you'll get your answer as they will fail to build. |

Yes, you should. And you should disable all related to Framebuffer (incompatible with the Nvidia driver) too.
| Code: | #
# Frame buffer Devices
#
CONFIG_FB=y |

I did that and it is not failing but one message appears:
| Code: |
make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1'
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo >&2; \
echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo >&2 ; \
/bin/false)
|
I put the whole output to: | Code: | | https://bpaste.net/show/94b94d4c0db2 |
I also tried the suggested | Code: | | make oldconfig && make prepare |
!
Still the same warning appears at the end of compiling the kernel!
@Syl20:
I disabled the
but also no improvement! |

chi86,
I advice you take great care of your configuration if you are using an nvidia card and
you have to know what you do.

2.1 Kernel
The kernel module (nvidia.ko) consists of a proprietary part (commonly known as the "binary blob") which drives the graphics chip(s), and an open source part (the "glue") which at runtime acts as intermediary between the proprietary part and the kernel. These all need to work nicely together as otherwise the user might be faced with data loss (through kernel panics, X servers crashing with unsaved data in X applications) and even hardware failure (overheating and other power management related issues should spring to mind). |
See Nvidia wiki page |

4.2 NVIDIA optimus
When using a laptop with NVIDIA's Optimus technology (usually found in laptops built in 2010 and later) then everything will be passed through your integrated graphics controller (usually Intel) before it gets to your discreet video card (NVIDIA), which can cause a lot of otherwise unexplained problems when enabled. There are a few ways to handle this, but the simplest is to disable Optimus through your BIOS (normally accessed by pressing F12 during boot). This will result in increased power consumption (decreased battery life, increased running temperature), as your NVIDIA card will now be handling all of the work all of the time. |

| Looking at your paste ... the kernel sources you are compiling against do not match the running kernel. |

It is a fresh installation and i just have the kernel:
| Code: | | linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1 |
installed!
@neoptslap:
Thanks for the help!
I figured now out that the problem was the "nvidia-drivers-340.96" which was pulled by "nvidia-settings-340.58" (dependency of "xfce4-sensors-plugin")!
With the most recent "nvidia-drivers" Version "361.28" all warnings vanish when I recompile the kernel!
For now I unmerged "xfce4-sensors-plugin" and therefore I don't need the "nvidia-settings" and the most recent "nvidia-drivers" can be installed!
If a matching "nvidia-settings" is released I give it another try and post the result here!
Thx! |

As it's a fresh install, and to be sure you install the good driver on the good kernel, you can try to unmerge nvidia-drivers, recompile and reinstall the lernel (the error message from nvidia should disappear), optionally reboot your computer on this new kernel, and then reinstall nvidia-drivers (emerge @module-rebuild should do the job, if you set VIDEO_CARDS to "nvidia").
Just in case, ensure the /usr/src/linux symlink points /usr/src/linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1.
Could you post you emerge --info, please ? |

Hi chi86,
Your situation in installing a fresh install of Gentoo as well as your kernel error message was EXACTLY the same as my issue, on
my own fresh install. You are also using the same desktop as I, in Xfce4. You are also using the same kernel (linux-4.1.15-gentoo-r1).
For a fact, for many, many months I have been dealing with the block caused by "xfce4-sensors-plugin" by masking newer builds of
nvidia-drivers. I just never took the time to chase it down.
SO, your little fix, quoted above, fixed all of my issues too, the kernel error message and having a current
nvidia-drivers are both fixed. Thanks for that, and my hat of off to you! You made my day!
Very well done sir! Thanks so much....
