nvidia-module-2.6.33.3-tinycore64

[robc]

The 64 bit modules were not updated with the rest of the nvidia drivers.

i have just submitted new nvidia module for kernel 2.6.33.3-tinycore64

[Anodos]

It does not seem to work for me. I get messages of unknown symbols in nVidia module. Micro core 3.7.1 is the last I can get to work. I follow the specified installation procedure but get errors when typing "sudo Xorg -configure". It looks for all the world like the nVidia module does not match the kernel.

i have found the bug but still don't know the permanent fix

i2c modules are not loaded automatically

i dunno which to blame for, latest busybox modprobe maybe

temporary fix

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe i2c-core
sudo modprobe nvidia

I don't have nvidia hardware to test with, but perhaps could this be another extension like alsa that may require the depmod extension?

yes depmod.tcz fixes it please add it to dep list of nvidia modules

[Jason W]

Done.

[Anodos]

That works for me. Fantastic, thanks for the speedy response.

Whilst including 'depmod.tcz' appears to fix some issues I wonder whether it is possible to track down exactly in which way BusyBox 'depmod' is deficient. That way it would be possible to raise a bug report and get it fixed (sooner or later).

Busybox does not create the files below in /lib/modules/`uname -r`.  I am sure it is by design to keep it small.
