NVIDIA - Compile driver
by Mitch Anderson
Having problems compiling the driver for an NVIDIA card...
It gives me the error(from /var/log/nvidia-installer.log):
executing: 'cd ./usr/src/nv; make nvidia.o
SYSINCLUDE=/lib/modules/2.4.21-20
.1.2024.2.1.nptl/build/include'...
You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel. This may be perfectly fine, but there
are cases where this can lead to unexpected behaviour and
system crashes.
If you know what you are doing and want to override this
check, you can do so by setting IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH.
In any other case, set the CC environment variable to the
name of the compiler that was used to compile the kernel.
*** Failed cc sanity check. Bailing out! ***
make: *** [gcc-check] Error 1
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file
'/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find
suggestions
on fixing installation problems in the README available on the

driver download page at www.nvidia.com
I tried installing gcc and ccp packages from RH9, but cpp depends on
XFree86-4.3... and continues...

Any luck with Mono?
by Matt Jones
Hi - I'm trying out dashboard, and i seem to be having some major issues
installing mono on severn. I've tried both the most recent stable
release (0.25.1 i think), and the most recent cvs. The error always
occurs when trying to compile w/ mcs - running mono
/usr/local/bin/mcs.exe always segfaults. It's not the source code's
fault - i use it on rh9 and it works like a charm.
Maybe i missed something in the release notes, but this seems like a
major issue (i can file something in bugzilla if noone here has gotten
it working).

bugzilla for severn?
by Klaasjan Brand
Hi,
Isn't there a bugzilla entry for severn on bugzilla.redhat.com?
It's not under "Red Hat public beta"...

Fonts
by Marc Deslauriers
Has anyone noticed the fonts look a bit weird with Severn?
The "sans" font looks skinnier than with RHL9 and when I turn on the
bytecode interpreter, it gets even worse. The lowercase "g", for
example, in gnome-terminal is really ugly compared to RHL9.
What I can't figure out is I tried installing freetype from Severn onto
a RHL9 box and the fonts stayed clean and legible...so it doesn't appear
to be a freetype problem (unless I'm mistaken...)
I have put up some screenshots here:

Any ideas?
Marc.

modules.conf and new modtils? (broken?)
by Matthew Miller
I installed the new modutils packages from Arjan's web page as part of an
attempt to try out 2.6-test on my Vaio U101. The new kernel doesn't work
very smoothly, but that'll get worked out sooner or later. More alarming,
though: suddenly, the sonypi driver didn't work under the *old* kernel.
A bit of investigation shows that when the module loads, the parameters in
/etc/modules.conf are being ignored -- including the very important one
which sets the device minor number. GIving the parameters to insmod
manually works fine. WHat's going on here?

Reiserfs (was: feature request)

This sounds wrong. Reiserfs's bad block handling is an ACKNOWLEDGED
problem by NameSys.
http://namesys.com/bad-block-handling.html
When I last tried ReiserFS a year ago (things may have changed, yadda
yadda), I had a 20GB filesystem on a drive that developed "3" bad
sectors (of 512 bytes each).
After getting an image using dd_rescue, I ran reiserfsck on the image.
After reiserfsck finished 98% of the filesystem was completely and
utterly mangled.
Since I made a backup copy of the filesystem image before running fsck,
I painfully used a hexeditor to recover some important scripts that I
had written.
I won't use Reiserfs on a production box again until:
a) The bad block handling is fixed
b) The reiserfsck command becomes more robust
BTW, Reiserfs v4 looks interesting.

custom package selection
by nospamhere@att.net
What happened to the "Select individual packages" option? It appears the only
option is to take default or take packages listed in each group. Ability to
pare down the defaults and add in packages not listed in the groups is
important! Did I miss it somehwere?
