John,
Unfortunately ATrpms RPM builds are a one-man show. When Axel is otherwise
engaged, things come to a halt. Other users provide SRPM updates, etc, but
when Axel is busy, no RPM updates will take place.

To my knowledge, we've gotten nowhere with the shared build server idea
that was floated a while ago. It requires a lot of initial setup and since
Axel is strapped for time, I doubt it will happen any time soon.

Thanks Brian. I guess the only unanswered question then is does anyone
know Axel's current status? Is he on vacation or is he otherwise engaged
(new / different job, etc.)? If it's the latter then we can probably
expect little to no updates for a while. Again, not a complaint. I know
Axel does this in his spare / "free" time and has always done a wonderful
job keeping things up to date. I just can't remember an unannounced "dead
period" like this since I've been using the repo.

Hello Paulo,

I am running centos 6.2 64 bit , so I would be very much interested in the kernel modules for Nvidia, kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.32-220.23.1.el6 . I have tried building the rpm myself , but I kept getting errors such as :

RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /root/redhat/tmp/rpm-tmp.FcBp7G (%install)

I have fakeroot and the macros rpm installed and have the bkmdl.sh as well as the bashrc aliases , but It is not working for me .

Best Regards

Milorad

Paulo:

Could you post your steps and environment to build? I'm on FC17 and
want to get the latest kernel but can't without a rebuilt nvidia
driver.

Thanks,

George

Paulo:

Never mind. I found your instructions at
http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html, which
I'll follow. I may ping you if I run into difficulties.

It might be easier to look at the repo:

http://dl.atrpms.net/f17-x86_64/atrpms/stable/nvidia-graphics302.17-kmdl-3.4.3-1.fc17-302.17-146.fc17.x86_64.rpm

http://dl.atrpms.net/f17-x86_64/atrpms/stable/nvidia-graphics295.59-kmdl-3.4.3-1.fc17-295.59-146.fc17.x86_64.rpm

and to thank Axel again!

There isn't a full set, but these should get you in business.

But this set has the problem of requiring modutils >= 2.4.14,
which was obsoleted by kmod.

Trying to force the installation module-init-tools brings a lot of
inconsistencies
to the system...

kmod seems to only have suppressed /sbin/weak-modules
and added /usr/bin/kmod.

Axel, is it possible to change the dependencies into the kmdls?

Thanks.

Pity about that. I'm using the repo version of 295.59 in f16.x86_64
without seeing problems. Not using VDPAU. Haven't tried 302.17 yet.

Yes there must be a way to prevent loading new Nvidia versions if kmdl is
not present,
Yesterday I attempted to upgrade a friends Fedora but found after the
upgrade the kmod is not available for this kernel so I'm stuck as its an
upgrade I can't fallback to old kernel.

In the end I had to disable the nvidia graphics and use the novena drivers
, not ideal but I had no other choice.

So can the kmdl yum script check if available and force a error or perhaps
if there is some other script I can check kmdl BEFORE I upgrade kernel.

thanks
Paul

Paul, you should never upgrade (rpm -U) the kernel. Should you always
install (rpm -i) it. Yum knows this and it should have installed the
updated kernel alongside the currently-running one. This allows you to
fall back to a known-working kernel should your update fail.

Are you sure the old kernel is gone? You should be able to edit grub.conf
and tell it to boot the previous kernel where the nvidia kmod still exists.

rpm -q kernel should list two or three kernels on a default Fedora install
(once you've performed updates a few times).

I tried the repo version of nvidia 302.17 as well, and playback was
fine; but I've reverted to f16 kernel 3.3.7-1 and nvidia 295.49 after
missing a batch of simultaneous mythtv recordings. There have been big
updates of KDE and mysql and I have been experimenting with dual-head
screens - provoking segfaults on exit from frontend and/or mythvsetup -
so I'm not clear what the real problem is. With the new kernel,
mythtvsetup couldn't see any of my tuners, although they did appear in
dmesg and some recordings were made. All rather strange; I think I'll
retreat for a bit. Myth build 0.24.3-283.

Bob,
thanks but I didn't make it clear I was upgrading from F13 to F15 so I couldn't really
go back to the old Kernel.
