Unable to Compile 4349 Drivers

[giffordj]

I am a Linux from Scratch user, I have been using the Nvidia drivers since 39xx. I successfully compileted the 4191 drivers. I noticed the new drivers were out and I tried to compile them the same way I did all the others, but this time it failed.

Here is the errors I receive.

/lib/modules/2.4.20/build/include/asm/rwsem.h: In function `__down_write_trylock':

Any suggestions? I have attached a more complete log to view.

I remember having an error similar to this one. What's in wherever /lib/modules/2.4.20/build points at? Is it the full source, or just the copy of the headers that the Chapter 5 installation put there? If it's just the Ch. 5 version, then make it point at your real kernel source.

Also, you should probably run a make oldconfig in the kernel source directory, to recreate the autoconfig.h file (I think that's the name) in include. I believe there's one there, but it's empty -- so maybe deleting it before the make oldconfig would be a good idea.
