2.6.28-16 upgrade seems to have broken Nvidia. Tried to use jokey-gtk to enable restricted drivers- nothing. Removed Nvidia 180 - Nothing. Attempted install with envy -t

:confused:

I cannot get into any previous kernel as it seems the Nvidia fails each time. If this were 3 weeks from now, I would wipe and start again with 9.10. I kinda need my system for the next 3 weeks....:mad:

29 views and no solution.

I downloaded RC 9.10 and will attempt install on secondary 12 GB drive and if that goes well will upgrade the 320 SATA.

There are a number of reports of users with broken graphics both ATI and NVidia due to this Kernel upgrade.

Be patient, you have to remember that this forum is accessed by people world wide so you will probably get some help eventually.

I would try to help if I could but I have no idea as to the answer to this. If you don't get a response soon you might consider closing this thread and starting one with a more accurate description in the title the one you have now is a common one that could mean anything. I suspect many forum members may not even look due to it being a matter of efficiency. ;)
