Need to compile nvidia driver for a custom kernel [SOLVED]

I compiled a custom kernel following this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ker … rom_Source
I can boot into it just fine.  I now want to compile an nvidia driver for use with it and followed the steps on this wiki page: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVI … tom_kernel
I run into a problem when makepkg trys to compile it.  Here is the output:
$ cd ~/devel/abs/nvidia/

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.
If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.
Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Hello,
I'm kind of a noob and am trying to get follow the directions from the Nvidia wiki on installing on a custom kernel.  I'm trying to use the abs method to install on kernel26rt version 2.6.33rt.  I followed directions exactly and am getting an error that I didn't find on any other posts.  Can you please take a look?  Here is my terminal:

  • Compiling nvidia driver for custom kernel

    I have a Toshiba M200 tablet PC running Arch Linux (which I love, btw) and it's running fine, including the tablet.
    There's an irritating bug with suspend-to-ram (suspend-to-disk doesn't work with the nvidia driver) where the tablet pen stops working after resume.
    There's a patch slated to be in some future kernel, but I compiled my own with that patch included. It boots fine and all seems to be well with it.
    However, I need to compile the nvidia driver for it, since the binary does not work. So I copy /var/abs/extra/nvidia and modify the PKGBUILD and nvidia.install files per the instructions on this wiki page, and run makepkg -i -c .
    I get a big error message early on, saying
    If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
    you either have configured kernel sources matching your
    kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
    on your system.
    If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
    you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
    installed on your system. If you specified a separate
    output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or

    *** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
    I've checked everything I can think of.
    $ uname -r
    2.6.25-tablet
    ls -l /usr/src shows linux-2.6.25-tablet, and linux is a symlink to it. /lib/modules/2.6.25-tablet/build is also symlinked to the right kernel source tree.
    So I'm out of ideas for why the nvidia makefile can't seem to find the kernel source.
    Thanks in advance.

    @klixon:
    I think that may be the root of the trouble: I compiled the kernel on my desktop (C2D 2.8) rather than my wussy laptop (1.6 Centrino). It installed and ran fine and all that, but I only have the kernel source tree that was included in the package, not the one that really compiled the code. Would simply copying it suffice, or should I rebuild the kernel on my laptop? Also, the PKGBUILD is included below.
    @shazeal:
    I believe this is a subset of the problem I describe above?
    The PKGBUILD, somewhat customized from the nvidia ABS. I don't think any of the changes are overly shocking.
    I've tried dozens of different modifications of it now. The simplest one is just appending '-tablet' to pkgname and _kernver.

  • How to make a custom Nvidia package for my custom kernel?

    I needed to create a custom kernel for my motherboard in order to have support for my integrated LAN and AGP bus...  My chipset is ULi's M1689.  Apparently, it will be native to maybe the 2.6.11 kernel, but definitely to the 2.6.12 kernel.
    In the meantime, I created a custom 2.6.10 kernel with the required patches as described in the wiki.  It works! Thanks!
    Now, I want to also create a custom Nvidia package that compiled for this kernel, so if I every re-install etc.  I just need to have these 2 packages handy to be up and running quickly. 
    Has this been done?  Is there a how-to?
    Thanks!
    KF

    Doesn't the genuine arch package work? Just run pacman -S nvidia in runlevel 3 and it should work. You just have to have sources of your kernel. Well, at least this works with my non-stock nitro kernel. Here's some more reference. I guess it gets a bit more tricky with multiple kernels, but it's not your case, is it [didn't get it clearly enough]?
    Cheers,

  • Latest Nvidia Driver for G560 does not install!

    Hi,
    i've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my G560. But it seems like the only driver working on this system is the preinstalled driver from Lenovo.
    I always get the message that the driver can't find the required hardware. I've downloaded the correct (Win 7 64 Bit) and latest driver from Nvidias webpage. I've even tried some older drivers from the drivers archive.
    Does anybody have a clue how I can solve my problem?
    Greetings Cpk83
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It does look like the correct driver. But I noticed this "Note: The following notebooks are not supported in this release: 1. Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power with Intel chipsets. 2. Fujitsu notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) notebooks are supported in this release. 3. Sony VAIO notebooks – support will be added in a later release. Sony VAIO Windows 7 users can click here for driver update support. 4. Any notebook that is launched after the release date of this driver. " Does anyone know if this laptop has Hybrid Power? Also here is a good tip/recommended from ATI. "Advisory: The display driver supplied by the laptop manufacturer is customized for the built-in flat panel display, and the graphics features and functions specific to the laptop. It is strongly recommended to use the supplied drivers. If installing a different operating system other than the one included with the laptop, the laptop may not meet all the requirements, and supported drivers may not be available. The laptop manufacturer is the exclusive provider of driver updates. If the required driver update is not available at the laptop manufacturers’ website, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer directly, to see if an updated driver will be made available in the future."

  • Can't find nvidia driver for my HP Pavilion dv6000

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Starter.
    But i can't find a NVIDIA driver for it. 
    My laptop name is Pavilion DV6000 and i have a 32 BIT.
    Please can somebody help me?
    Vincent

    Hi @viniboy007
    I understand that you  are looking for a driver for your notebook, and that you have upgraded to windows 7.
    Please post the full product number for your notebook, so I can post a link to the supported drivers for your notebook.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    If there are not supported drivers for that product from HP, then it means the unit was never sold in that configuration. Then I would refer you to this page: What if I Don't See My Operating System?
    The problem then is more about trying to find drivers that will work, that have not been customized by HP to work with the other components on the notebook.

  • Do i need a external hard drive for my pictures

    Do I need an external hard drive for my pictures?

    Generally, you should have an external hard drive to backup your system. If your internal hard drive is filling up, you certainly can move pictures to an external hard drive.

    Hi lt12345,
    I understand that you are looking to use the Photosmart 2710 with Windows 8.1 RT, but are unable to locate a driver. In my attempt to locate a driver I have come up empty handed. It appears that this printer is not supported for printing from Windows RT.

  • I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 Mac with MacOS X 10.4 operating system. What will work for me?

    I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 operating system. What external drive will for for me?

    Hi,
    Providing that the old 3.5" floppies are 1.44 MB HD disks, you should be able to use a USB floppy drive.
    However, if the disks are 2DD/DSDD in the 800K Mac format a USB drive is not going to work. In this case you would need a suitable semi-old Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive as an intermediary.

  • Need bootable external Firewire drive for iMac G5

    I need an external Firewire drive for an iMac G5 PC with OSX leopard that I can format to be BOOTABLE.  Don't know where to buy one or even if they're available.  I've bought 3 different drives on eBay, thinking each was what I needed, and none were. 
    I'm frustrated.  
    Would appreciate. Any helpful info.

  • Help I need to locate a driver for my soundblaster live 24 bit soundcard

    My son has been given the following PC games for christmas:-
    Command & Conquer 3,
    Command & Conquer Red Alert 3,
    Arma; Armed Assault,
    Medal of Honour: Airborne
    The problem he is having installing these 4 games is this. About half way through installation an error message appears that quite simply states "The software you are installing does not bear a WHQL signed driver. This software will not be installed".
    The PC we are running is a Dell Dimension 900, that we purchased about 4 years ago, and it was bespoke.
    I have run DxDiagnostics and it tells me that the driver for the graphics card is called p7.sys and the sound card are not WHQL logo'd, so how the hell do i download a driver for my soundblaster Li've 24 bit, that does? bear a digital signatre that is WHQL Logo'd. I hope you can help, me please.

    Re: Help I need to locate a driver for my soundblaster li've 24 bit soundcard? I guess you and your son are currently using windows xp. Well, what you can do is now is ignoring the WQHL pop-up window and choose the "install anyway" option during the installation of the soundcard driver, since WQHL only means the driver is tested by Microsoft and nothing more; drivers without the WQHL qualification does not mean they are bad drivers, they usually works as good as the WQHL ones.
    Ofcourse you can also download the official drivers for the mentioned Soundblaster li've 24bit at Creative Labs support/download site.
    here is it:
    [url="http://uk.europe.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=&Product=035&dlcentric= 025&Product_Name=Li've%2+24-bit&filetype=&OSName=Windows+XP">Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Value/SE/LS and Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit XP and Windows Vista Pack .04.0077 (63.39 MB)?[/url]
    The driver is for all Soundblaster Audigy Value, SE, LS and Soundblaster Li've 24bit, since they are all based on the CA-006 soundchip (with other words Creative Labs renamed the soundcard several times). Also this driver should be WQHL-ed (if not, choose "install anyway" option during installation of the soundcard driver). Make sure you have uninstalled the older driver before installing the new one. For troubleshooting use utilies like "Driver Cleaner" or "Driver Sweeper" (google for Guru3D and go to the site and their download section to get the utilities/tools) to clean up the junk files of the older driver that are left in the Windows OS.
    Good luck and Merry Christmas!!!

  • I need a Wi-FI driver for Equium A100-027

    I own a Toshiba Equium A100-027 with the Atheros AR5006EG Wi-Fi Adapter.The Laptop is running on Windows XP and I need some software to use the wireless adapter. Could someone help me somehow?
    The Driver had a Genuiune Windows Vista but it was working slow and I've changed the OS to XP.

    All you need is the right driver for WLAN card. Some special software is not necessary because you can configure WLAN using Windows WLAN settings.

  • Satellite A660/07U - Problem installing nVidia driver for Win 7 64bit

    A660/07U Windows 7 64bit
    To begin with, I need to install this driver as apparently it will solve an issue with the current driver that causes the computer to freeze when booting with an external monitor as the primary display.
    I have downloaded the driver install file from the Toshiba web site and it is extracting ok but then when I run the program it just exits immediately without actually installing the drivers.
    Device manager in windows doesn't seem to help either, because when I point it to the extracted folders it tells me I already have up-to-date drivers, even though my current driver version is a lower number than the downloaded one.
    Rebooting has made no difference.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Yes, that is exactly where I got it from and I have tried re-downloading the file but still have had no luck.
    I was, however, able to get the driver directly from NVIDIA and it worked fine and has also resolved the issue with the external monitor bootup.
    It is still strange that the file provided by Toshiba did not work.
