#9 Cannot compile Nvidia drivers

[Malik Jayawardena]

Hi just trying to compile the Nvidia linux drivers under
the openmosix kernel. I have installed the source.

It says cannot find "modules.h"

I am using the 2.4.20-openmosix2 kernel. Using RedHat
9.0

Any help would be great.

That sounds strange. Have you configured the kernel with
make {menu|x|}config? Also, have you enabled modules
support? And, are you sure the NVidia modules' include path
is pointing to the right kernel source tree?

I was actually using the RPM packages the 2.4.20-openmosix2
kernel and the kernel-source package for the same.

Yeah, strangely it didn't seem to find what it needed to
compile these drivers with this configuration.

I was able to get it working by downloading a brand new
2.4.21 kernel and patched that with the openmosix patch.
Seems to be working ok now. But it's a hella longer
processes than RPM which I was hoping would work.
