aren't you supposed to recompile nvidia module everytime you change the kernel? have a look at an nvidia howto on how to recompile it. In the meantime, change your xorg.conf: instead of nvidia, use nv.
Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bustedcopy04152006
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Navigate with arrows and page up-down. replace nvidia with nv (and if that doesn't work, replace that with vesa). save with ctrl + o (letter O), say yes. Exit with ctrl + x. Start X with startx (command). Once X is up and running, go to your favorite nvidia howto, check out how to recompile driver (?if needed?) etc.
Well, another alternative is to wait for an nvidia expert to reply :)
device-mapper: error adding target to table
Hi,
after compilling the new kernel, lots of these
Quote:
device-mapper: error adding target to table
errors appeared.
I have no clue what caused them. I've googled something about LVM, but in my case I have only one hdd and I think that LVM is useless for me.
Any ideas?

Re: device-mapper: error adding target to table
Thanks a lot for the howto. It worked great and i got a significant speed improvement.
I have only one problem: When i try to install vmware i get the following error:
Code:
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
The kernel defined by this directory of header files does not have the same
address space size as your running kernel.
Can anyone help me out?

Try backing up your configuration, remove it, then try getting the latest version an compile it from source. Then it should work.

Should i remove the old vmware configuration or the kernel configuration?

You should/can remove your vmware configuration. DON'T Delete your kernel config.

Sorry that I'm not of much help. Let's see if anyone else knows.
Re: How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org
MasterChief1234, I greatly appreciate your HowTo! But, one thing, my wifi isn't working, so I read the bottom of your HowTo and followed the ndiswrapper installation, but I'm stuck on the last step:

I'm not sure as to what I put in each bracket. An example would be incredibly helpful to me.
2.6.16 is my kernel version (thanks to MasterChief1234 :D )
1.13 is my ndiswrapper version
Thanks a lot in advance,

ok, the brackets mean to put the name of the file in there. Assuming that you compilied ndiswrapper in your home directory:
1. Open terminal
2. in terminal type
sudo dpkg NAME HERE
then
sudo dpkg -i OTHER NAME HERE
3. You may need to install one package before the other.
What I like to do is drag the .deb file into terminal so I don't need to do anything else so do this.
sudo dpkg -i then put a space and drag the .deb file into terminal.
