Prior to these changes I was OK with 3.11-6 and 331.xx
I installed 3.12-0 and neither beta or 325.15 would install Went back to 3.11-6 and only 325.15 will now install drb Back to top |

I assumed 3.12 was supported by the latest patches.
However, make sure to remember that you need to use sgfxi -f to install the driver using the latest patches, if you don't, all sgfxi does is rebuild the modules, which may not work. The changes that the linux kernel have made since 3.11 are large and seriously impacted nvidia's logic, you can tell because it's taken them a while to release new drivers, and because they actually released their own patches in the meantime, which they almost never do. In fact it's the first time I can recall them doing that. I can pull the 3.12 support if you can confirm from someone else that the new nvidia patches aren't working to build drivers for 3.12. Using sgfxi -f to install, that is. or sgfxi -f -B for the 331 series. We'll see. Back to top |

Hi h2,
I've tried -f install as well with both 3.11 and 3.12. As I said, I can't even get 331.xx to install on 3.11-6 now. drb Back to top |

I'm going to assume there's some other issue, and leave the kernel 3.12 support active for nvidia, with patches. You should see the patch applying during the install process. The only difference I can see is if there's an issue with 64 bit driver patching. The build of course failed for the 3.11 kernel when I did not use sgfxi -f but when I added -f, to force driver reinstall, it all worked fine. Back to top |

I used to be able to get 331.17 to build but I now get the following error. 325.15 installs OK.

try this with the debian 3.11 kernel. Also try the towo kernel from siduction. I am unable to get anyone to report on 64 bit sgfxi -B so far, which I assume means it's working for them, though it would be nice to check.
Since adding a kernel is easy, give debian or siduction 3.11 64 bit a try and see if it works, if it does, file a bug report with slh, it wouldn't be the first time he's done something that makes nvidia break. Back to top |

Thanks. 331.17 installing fine on siduction 3.11-6 32 bit kernel

drb, you'll have to install either debian 3.11 64 bit, before it changes to 3.12, or one of the others, liquorix, siduction, then report back.
If the aptosid 64 bit kernel has some special slh tricks in it, you'll see that right away by the simple fact that nvidia will install fine to any other kernel, if you get the error repeated, you will have to look into digging out the cause, until someone else confirms on another kernel a failed 3.11 / 64 bit / 331.xx/325.xx install. Since installing an alternate kernel takes only a few minutes, I'll wait for that data. Back to top |
