Problem with compiling driver under kernel-2.6.22

[Delirium]

With the newest version of kernel 2.6.22-rc4-33 under OpenSuse 10.2 I have problem with compiling drivers. I'v tried with all version of drivers I have: 9629, 9755 and 100.14.06.

The same problem I had in previous kernel version (2.6.22-rc3-git2-47.1) but there was no problem with 9629 drivers. All other drivers were giving the same error. Is there any solution for this?

[netllama]

1.0-9629 is no longer supported. Please use 1.0-9755, 100.14.06 or 1.0-9639 depending on your GPU.

[ViN86]

if you have the same problem after trying the next version, make sure your kernel source is maintained and all configs are placed in the correct locations and can be seen by the nvidia installer.

netllama - as I wrote, under 2.6.22-rc3-git2-47.1 there was no problem only with 9629. All other versions (9755 and 100.14.06) give errors during compiling.

Under 2.6.22-rc4-33 no one of these a/m drivers is working.
Only downgrading kernel to 2.6.22-rc3-git2-29 gives oportunity to make 100.14.06 working well.

ViN86 - I checked if there is everything ok with kernel sources. It seems there is no problem - installation program is passing initial checks but shows errors in compiling procedure.

[netllama]

Please attach the installer log against a supported driver version.

[Delirium]

Finally I found reason why newest drivers won't to compile. It seems to be OpenSuse problem.

After upgrading kernel and kernel-sources rpms Nvidia driver installer see kernel sources and try to compile but it gives errors like in attachment.

After a few tries I found that forcing kernel-sources to install (by rpm -ihv --force) gives opportunity to compile drivers in right way (but only to next reboot). I don't know what is the reason but I think it is not directly conected with drivers functionality.

[zander]

Yes, the errors in the nvidia-installer.log file suggest the kernel development files the module was being built against were in a bad state.
