Did you do as the error suggested and run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it?

Hmm, i hate it when such errors aren't printed at the end.

Anyway, I got that nvidia.ko error with my FC4 2.6.17 kernel too. I had to apply 2 patches to the nvidia driver source first, then the installer worked just fine. Though that was with the 7xxx drivers, so those patches wont help anyway.

No, Nvidia kernel module building still is failed in kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2741.fc6.

but Nvidia kernel module buiding works well in kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2726.fc6 and
copying config.h from old kernel-devel package to kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2741.fc6, this problem doesn't happen in kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2741.fc6.

Please See : https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedo.../msg00154.html

There have been 'deprecated' warning messages about the use of
<linux/config.h> for a while. I guess upstream decided to finally
remove it.

I noticed this when compiling modules for ipw3945. I just 'removed'
the '#include <linux/config.h>' line and the make succeeded.

[I believe the build mechanism now 'automagically' includes the right stuff.]

Thanks. I've opened bug 258667 for this problem.

You can fix this problem by extracting the .run installer with the --extract-only option and updating the file usr/src/nv/nv-linux.h to #include linux/autoconf.h instead of linux/config.h.

[cafeschintze]

post deleted.. my own fault

the usr/linux dir linked to an outdated kernel-headers dir.
way outdated... :-/

I can't install original nvidia drivers under FC6... only then I edit this header

nvidia driver: 1.0-9626

Thanks for this.
I just installed fedora 6 x86_64 (2.6.18) and changing this line was also necessary.

After you extract the .run file to edit the file, how to you install the drivers now that it's extracted? Is there some file you have to run? Do you recompress it to a .run file? How do you do that?

Yes can someone help with this? I've extracted, changed it to linux/autoconf.h and everything, but when I try to run "sh nvidia-installer" I get this:

nvidia-installer: nvidia-installer: cannot execute binary file
