I am trying to upgrade to vanilla-sources-2.6.24-rc7 from 2.6.23-gentoo-r3, I have the kernel compilied correctly and booting, but I cannot rebuild the nvidia-drivers package I am getting the build error below.

I was also getting an error when trying to emerge nvidia-drivers but it did not give any useful information.
Any ideas?

This indicates that some sources/headers are not found. My guess: Symlink "/usr/src/linux" is not pointing to the 2.6.24 sources. If so, create a new symlink and emerge nvidia-sources again.

This seems to be the the problem. Do you use the same .config for 2.6.24 that you used for 2.6.23?

Yea I used the same config. Would that cause the problem?

I had this - It's due to the arch changes in 2.6.24 (There is no i386 and x86_64 now, just x86, but nvidia-drivers uses i386...)

The easy fix is to do:

Quote:
cd /usr/src/linux #Assuming this is a symlink to your 2.6.24 kernel

cd arch

ln -s x86 i386


...and then emerge the nvidia drivers again.

The new betas have been (allegedly) modified to work with the .24 kernels, but I don't think they're in Portage...

Strange. I use .24 myself (zen-sources, not vanilla), latest stable nvidia drivers (100.14.19) and I can't remember doing something like this. So maybe give the newer nvidia drivers a try.

Maybe the zen sources already have the symlink?

I do know that was the issue with the then-current nvidia-drivers when I was installing them (Just before xmas)

I suspect the current-stable version is still the same one, which would explain the problem still cropping up.

But yeah, if there is a newer driver version, best to try it and see how it goes ;)

No, there's no symlink here for arch/i386. There's however arch/x86_64 (I'm running a 64 bit system) with nothing in but arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage symlinking to arch/x86/boot/bzImage. So the nVidia drivers shouldn't compile for me, too, if they look in arch/x86_64 for sources?

Anyway. I'd give the symlink and the newer drivers a try, LJM.

Could reproduce a similar error message here for 64bits. Yours is 32 bits? Then have a look in /usr/src/linux/include if there is a symlink from "asm-i386" to "asm-x86". If not create one and emerge nvidia drivers again. (Edit: Could be that a symlink "asm" needs to point to "asm-x86" not quite sure and can't test it for 32 bits.)

I have arch/1386 with nothing in it except arch/boot/bzImage as well. I also have the asm symlink too, which points to the right directory.

Any other ideas?

Also I tried compiling the VMware modules and they failed with similar error messages so I'm thinking that I cant compile any modules.

Sorry, I don't see what goes wrong with your install. Built vanilla-sources with your config (slightly modified for 64bits) and emerged nvidia drivers without a problem. Our "emerge --info"s are similar in essential parts. No, I don't get it.

Did you have a look at this thread:

I checked out conftest.sh and found out that it had a wrong asm folder reference. I needed to add the following symlink (I use x86 arch, modify as appropriate):
Code:
# ln -s asm-x86 /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/include/asm-i386

No dice.

conftest doesn't show anything at all. Also I am still getting the error message stating
Code:

*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***

But uname -r shows that its 2.6.24-rc7

Could be a problem with this kernel version. 2.6.24_rc8 is in portage, you could try that (or even zen-sources :lol:)...

I'm still having problems emerging vmware-workstation (same error as shown previously in this thread) with a 2.6.24-r7 kernel. Anyone gotten this to work yet?

Hi! I have latest zen-sources.git and I have problem with /dev (udev). I don't know what I've forgot to compile in but I get error on "mounting /dev for udev [oops"...

I fixed my problems with vmware by adding the vmware overlay via layman. I now use vmware-modules-1.0.0.17-r1 from the overlay with no problems.
