Re: Nvidia drivers 256.44 and Salix 13.1.1 32 bits

LOL, it seems funny that now i am running the SMP kernel and I see two penguins when booting up even though I do not have 2 physical CPUs.

I will do a reinstall and only run the normal kernel not the SMP one.

Re: Nvidia drivers 256.44 and Salix 13.1.1 32 bits

No reason actually, I just followed the instructions from a previous thread here on the forum that worked for the 32 bit version of Salix 13.1. Shall I install the "kernel-huge-smp" package too using slapt-get ? Do I have to remove the "kernel-huge" package now ?

Re: Nvidia drivers 256.44 and Salix 13.1.1 32 bits

Great, I now installed the driver using the --kernel-name=2.6.33.4 and --kernel-source-path=/usr/src/linux-2.6.33.4/ parameters and X does not work. It gives me this : FATAL: Error inserting NVIDIA (/lib/modules/2.6.33.4/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format PLEASE HELP ME, anyone.

Re: Salix 13.1.1 has been released!

This distro is perfect. The only problem is that I cannot change Firefox's start page from http://www.salixos.org/start/ to what I need it to be.
