Nvidia GeForceGo 420 & new kernel 2.6.33-999.201002061003_i386

Hi

I have a problem with recompiling of new kernel.
When I recompile nvidia kernel give me that :

ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in
'/lib/modules/2.6.33-999-generic/build'. Please make sure you have
installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are
properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you
have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know
the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the
kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line

How can I resolve it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

You have to patch your nvidia driver. You can get the patch from here (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2164440&postcount=20)

Unfortunately the patches are for the 190.x and 195.x drivers.
You can take a look at the patch and try to modify yourself the respective files in nvidia 96.43.16 sources. Don't forget to make backups for the files you modify.
Or you should stick with an older kernel
If you insist to use a 2.6.33x kernel use the nv module that comes with it

The nv kernel module is old and bad. I suggest trying out nouveau instead for older cards. There's plenty of info about nouveau in the Lucid dev forum.
