I have just wiped my Linux installations and reinstalled Salix OS in UEFI mode as my only Linux system. A side note is that when booting from Devuan and Salix USB pen drives, my internal drives still shift /dev/sdX1 address... Anyway, my problem is the following, which the Nvidia installer complains about:
Code: Select all
$ ls /var/log/packages/kernel-*
/var/log/packages/kernel-firmware-20160823git-noarch-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/kernel-headers-4.4.19-x86-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/kernel-huge-4.4.19-x86_64-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/kernel-modules-4.4.19-x86_64-1_slack14.2
/var/log/packages/kernel-source-4.4.118-noarch-1
I can't seem to find a 4.4.19 kernel-source. This is a weakness in the new Nvidia HowTo as it clearly states:
If the kernel-source package version does not match your current kernel, you need to upgrade your kernel packages first.
So the natural reaction would be to run a general
and then install the kernel source... Which is what I did.

Perhaps something should also be included about running
if running in UEFI mode. BTW, why does the system try to re-install eliloconfig when the above command is run? Shouldn't it just update the settings?
