0) do not mix the livna rpms with nvidia's installer
1) its very easy to use livna's srpm to rebuild a new kernel module
2) do not mix the livna rpms with nvidia's installer
3) example using nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.src.rpm from livna
assuming kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1319_FC4 and kernel-smp-devel-2.6.11-1.1319_FC4
are installed on an smp athlon:
rpmbuild --rebuild --target i686 --define "kernel
2.6.11-1.1315_FC4smp" nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.src.rpm
(that should be one line but of course email is going to line wrap that)
4) do not mix the livna rpms with nvidia's installer
5) that rebuild command will create
nvidia-glx-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.i686.rpm
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.1315_FC4smp-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.i686.rpm
nvidia-glx-devel-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.i686.rpm
6) do not mix the livna rpms with nvidia's installer
7) all you need to do is install the new kernel-module-nvidia package
that was built
rpm -ivh kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.11-1.1315_FC4smp-1.0.7174-0.lvn.1.3.i686.rpm
8) repeat as needed when a new kernel and kernel-devel package is
installed before you
reboot into the new kernel.
Can this guide be used on all my RHEL4 workstations too?
