Well it appears that I have shot myself in the foot somehow.

I have tried to re-cast 7676 of nvidia_driver spell under my 2.6.15-rc5 kernel where this
version had worked previously but to no avail.

So my situation has worsened as I now have no X at all :(

I have tried to cleanse -- fix, as suggested below, under both kernels. I have even tried upgrading
to latest kernel, 2.6.16-rc5, but still no good.

I found that the following error line:

/usr/src/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8178-pkg1/usr/src/nv/os-interface.c:1375: error: structure has no member named `rlim'

could be removed in the code by remarking out some lines. This then installs okay but when the module loads
gives an error relating to a previous warning about the remapping page being incorrect.

Any advice would be appreciated?

Use `gaze version linux` to see what version of the kernel you have
installed. You may want to try `cleanse --fix` and see if that catches
anything. Has nvidia_driver compiled for you before? If so, what did
you change that made it stop working?


gaze version linux tells me the same thing, ie 2.6.16-rc1.

Yes I did try cleanse previously and unfortunately I am not sure what I changed.
The previous version, 7676 I think, did cast but stopped when I went to newer
version of kernel as I said yes to Trigger and 8178 tried to install but failed with previous
information. Tried to cast older version and it also failed.
I did not add or remove anything to kernel just went to newer version.
