The light bulb appeared above my head driving back from the outlaws (post
prandial).
If the nvidia installer is looking
for /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686/build/include/linux/kernel.h, but can't find
it, then is there any other instances of it?
A quick visit to konqueror showed me this
file:///usr/include/linux/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-kanotix-9/include/config/debug/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-kanotix-9/include/config/lock/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-kanotix-9/include/linux/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/include/config/debug/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/include/config/lock/kernel.h
file:///usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-2-686/include/linux/kernel.h (this one is
the empty link)
file:///usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/include/linux/kernel.h
I'm guessing that the top 3 can be discounted as they refer to the old kernel
version, the next 3 can also be discounted as they are the debug, lock and
the empty link, which leaves me with the last one.
Now that is the linux-source, so I don't know what to do with it from there
(apart from going to the synaptic listing again to see if theres a
linux-headers package that I may have missed).
Or is it that I need to link the
original /lib/modules/2.6.17-2-686............../kernel.h that the nvidia
driver can't find to
the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17/include/linux/kernel.h ?
