New kernel and problems installing nvidia-legacy drivers

I just compiled new kernel, and I can't install nvidia-legacy drivers properly. Pacman installs them, but the module (nvidia.ko) goes to /lib/modules/2.6.19-ARCH, and I want it to 2.6.19.2.. It doesn't work if I just copy the module..
I've compiled kernel many times without problems when I was still using Slackware. So, what do I need to configure to use the new module directory? I Propably made some small/stupid mistake..
I tried legacy drivers from nvidia.com, but they didnt compile.. weird, gonna try that again too..

You need to install the nvidia drivers, or any other non-kernel drivers, specifically for the kernel you are using. Arch packages the nvidia drivers to work with the Arch kernel packages, and the "Arch way" to deal with your situation is to modify the appropriate PKGBUILD to match your kernel, create a custom package with makepkg, and install it with pacman.
You can also use the nvidia installer, but in that case the nvidia files installed on your system will not be under pacman's control.

Not Able To Install Nvidia Graphics Drivers

Hello all!
This past week I just finished putting my new system together with a K8N Diamond Plus. Only major problem right now is i am not able to install Nvidia's drivers. Below are my components...
XP 64-Bit Edition
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
BFG 7900 GTX 512MB
1 Gig Coirsar Ram
2 Wester digital HD in Raid 0
When I try and install the graphics drivers i get the message " The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
I used the chip set drivers listed here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=710&kind=1
Also I have tried the ones from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp64_x16_6.83
The graphics drivers i used are from NVIDIA's site: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_81.98.html
BFG Tech support guy had me look under display adapters in device manager. It only has Standard VGA Graphics Adapter listed. He said I did not have my chip set drivers installed (though i have), or the motherboard was not recognizing it. Also he said they do not support XP-64 and would not offer me any more support so long as i run it.
I just can not believe that XP 64, 7900 GTX, and this great K8N Diamond Plus can not get along.
Any advice anyone has for getting my Diamond Plus and my graphics card to jive together would be greatly appricated.
Thankyou all!!

Thankyou guys for the responses. I was able to find drivers that worked with my card here..

Now my only current issue left is that I have no sound. It is enabled in the BIOS, installed the 64-bit drivers from MSI site, tired installing drivers off disk. Any suggestion?

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !
Regards,
Vipul

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

You will have to sync your iphone to this computer first, erasing the current content and replacing wioth content from the new computer.
Make sure you have copied everything from the old comptuer to the new one first.

I have a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it, but i am worried if i plug my iphone into it i will loose all my contacts apps and photos!! please help!!!

hi there
i have just bought a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it but i am worried that if i plug my iphone into it, that i will loose all my apps, contacts and photos!!
please help!!

I will try and be helpful unlike the the first two posters!!
When you say installed iTunes I am guessing that its just the program and not your old library? in which case when you connect your iphone you will get a message warning you that you will be replacing the data on the iphone with the library on the new laptop i.e. an empty itunes.
If this is the case what you need to do is on your old laptop,
1: open itunes and go into preference/settings and go to advanced and make sure that consolidate and keep organised are checked.
2: Then go to file and click consolidate library.
3: close itunes and then go to start and open "My Music" folder.
4: Drag the iTunes folder out of My music and put it on an external drive or network the 2 laptops.
5: on the new laptop open "My Music" folder and drag out to the desk top the itunes folder
6: from the external drive or network drang and drop the old iTunes library into the "My Music" folder on the new laptop.
now close it and restart iTunes and your old library should be visable and when you connect your iphone it will identify its the correct library to sync with.

[Solved] AUR: Nvidia legacy drivers for MX4000 not working?

Hi.
I'm attempting to turn an old Dell machine I've acquired into a 720p HTPC. I've already tested XBMC out on this machine via WinXP, and considering I've always gotten better video playback through Linux, I thought I'd try out a minimal Arch XBMC install.
Problem is that this card, the Geforce 4 MX 4000 (128MB AGP x4), is no longer supported in the current Nvidia packaging.
After reading the wiki, I configured my makepkg with the native parameter, built, and installed the AUR's 173xx Nvidia package.
When attempting to load X after configuring, I noticed in the output that it recognized the card, but notified me that I was only supported under the lagacy 96xx packaging. I then installed the nvidia-96xx, and nvidia-96xx-utils, packages from the aur.
After attempting either a non-configured X, or with one, I'm getting the message that my card isn't recognized. This is despite the fact that the vesa, and nouveau, drivers see it just fine. FYI - I boot the kernel with the 'vga=792' parameter in case that makes a difference.
The messages received when Xorg fails were something like the following.
WARNING
This server has a video driver ABI version of 12.0 that is not supported by this driver
AND
Fatal server error:
no screens found
I'm posting this from Windows, and I can't give you any net feedback while in Arch.

Well... after doing a more thorough web search, I found the Catalyst unofficial Arch repos here.
- http://catalyst.apocalypsus.net/
I tried first to add them to my pacman.conf and install them, but Arch's new security measures said no-no-no. I have no clue how to add new repos as trusted after the initial pacman-key --init, so I manually downloaded the xorg packages needed.
As I had truly done a minimal net install followed by a 'pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit xterm', the only incompatibility messages I received were for the xf86-video-vesa and xf86-input-edev packages.
This was what was involved in getting this to work.
- Do core net install of Arch system, and reboot.
- Install minimal xorg from current repos through pacman via...
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
- Manual download, and downgrade to, xorg-server-1.10.4-1, xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0-3, or any other required xorg packages from the Catalyst repo.
- Install nvidia-96xx, and nvidia-96xx-utils, packages from AUR.
- Running 'X -configure' reported missing file error. Do a search for the missing file name minus the '.0' extension, and create a softlink with the extension included.
- Rerun 'X -configure', move xorg.conf.new file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, run 'nvidia-xconfig'.
BTW - the command line browser 'links' will help a lot before you have a GUI setup. In my case XBMC.

I have installed nvidia graphics drivers on windows 7 (bootcamp) now i can't use windows, it's just a black screen, how do i resolve this?

I have installed nvidia drivers from nvidias website for my geforce gt 650m on my early 2013 macbook pro retina 15", now i can't use windows in bootcamp, whenever i go into windows it turns into a black screen before i can see my desktop. How do i resolve this?

From the home screen, double click the home button to bring up the Recently used App list. Find the App with the problem and hold your finger on it untl the Apps start to shake. When that happens tap on the (x) on the right side corner of the app to close it.
Tap the home button again to get back to the home screen, and try to open the App again.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad. (there should be no data loss):
Press and Hold the Power and home buttons until the Apple Logo shows up. Ignore any sliders that may appear.
When the iPad turns back on, try opening the App again.

Can not install NVIDIA Display Drivers

I have a T61 (7664-17U) with XP SP2.
For sometime now I've had problems with the NVIDIA display drivers. Occasionally my NVIDIA drivers disappear and are replaced by VGA . I notice this when I can't Standby or Hibernate my system, those options are grayed out. Also, interacting with the display is difficult..
I've tried several times to update my 12/2007 drivers to the latest ones from the Lenovo site. The latest drivers appear to be installing (InstallShield?) but I get a message after a few minutes that "The system has not been modified. To install the program at a later time, run the installation again." No other information.
I found out early that if I install the old drivers everything was OK, until yesterday. Yesterday when I tried to install the old drivers I got
" Error Code: -5004 : 0x80070005 rror InformationSetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1968 PAPP:NVIDIA Display Drivers PVENDOR:NVIDIA Corporation (http://www.nvidia.com/) PGUID:EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD $9.1.0.429
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) IE 6.0.2900.2180."
I tried several iterations of installing the drivers including downloading the latest ThinkVantage installer.
How can I solve this problem? Should I try downloading the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA website?
I'm very appreciate of any help! Thanks, Tilly

"Should I try downloading the latest drivers directly from NVIDIA website?"
You can't install drivers obtained from the NVidia website. You'll get a "No compatible hardware found" message.
You're supposed to only install video drivers obtained from Lenovo.
If your T61 is still under warranty, a request for service is in order.

New kernel and GRUB configuration

I recently downloaded and installed from the AUR the maxim patch to fix the mon0 problem with aircrack-ng.
Both makepkg and pacman -U finish without any issues.
The problem comes in when I try to set my system up to use the 2.6.8 kernel which is created by the process.
When it first finished, the new kernel was created on my "/" partition. I got them moved "/boot" partition in order to get my system set up.
The current files in my "/boot" are:
grub (folder)
lost+found (folder)
9a97750b-6285-42a6-9712-877d9ef12eca (uuid of the drive)
kernel26-img
kernel26-fallback.img
vmlinuz26
System.map26
kernel26-nx.img
kernel26-nx-fallback.img
vmlinuz26-nx
System.map26-nx
My /grub/menu.lst says:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/842288ba-e9a8-4a6e-8e60-4a54e4844dcd ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/842288ba-e9a8-4a6e-8e60-4a54e4844dcd ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
Under this configuration is works fine. When I switch it to:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26-nx root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/842288ba-e9a8-4a6e-8e60-4a54e4844dcd ro
initrd /kernel26-nx-.img
# (1) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26-nx root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/842288ba-e9a8-4a6e-8e60-4a54e4844dcd ro
initrd /kernel26-nx-fallback.img
It boots to "Waiting 10 seconds for drive..." Then puts me in to the ramfs because the drive does not respond. I am sure I am doing something wrong, I just don't know what.

I changed the boot string to:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26-nx root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /kernel26-nx.img
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda3
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda3'

EDIT: I just tried with all of the drives, sda1,sda2,sda3,sda4 all with the same result.

some expert that can help me.

More specific, i can login to SAP ABAP instance, i can lunch transactions and the system start the compiling as it is normal. but if i stop the sap system and start it again, the system do the same when i login, compiling and compiling.

Can you install the new Bootcamp and NOT install 10.5?

I have a laptop that I use to do page layout. It took FOREVER to get my print output settings in quark, photoshop, etc just right.
I am currently running the old bootcamp beta. I need to install the new version of bootcamp and its drivers so I can run updates to my Windows partition. I DONT want to install OSX 10.5. Can I install bootcamp and not install 10.5 or am I stuck?

Jason:
The only way that I know to get the boot camp 2.0 drivers is from the Leopard Installation Disk. You indicated that you want to keep Tiger installed. You also indicated that you have the beta version of boot camp already running. You are in a good situation to update to 2.0 boot camp drivers.
The catch? You will still need the Leopard Installation Disk as you will need to insert that while booted in Windows to start and finish the update process. All of the necessary drivers are on the Leopard CD.
I have a Leopard Installation disk, then simply boot into Windows and get to the Windows desktop. Insert the Leopard installation disk and it will begin updating the drivers. You can leave the Tiger partition as is.
