NVIDIA driver 334.21 is out, but still needs the nv-linux.h patch for kernel 3.14 (tested with 3.14-rc5). See previous article at https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1035 for details of the patch.. Robert Gadsdon. March 4, 2014.

After a lot of ‘hacking’, I managed to get the Odroid U3 to boot with Kernel 3.14-rc3, from http://git.prahal.homelinux.net/odroid.git/ , but there were persistent issues with USB, which refused to recognise any devices connected (apart from the USB memory stick (usb-storage) connection built-in to the kernel at compile time). Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel 3.14.0-rc3 on an … Continue reading →
Updated to Kernel 3.13.4, and the latest NVIDIA driver 331.49 and (patched) VMware 10.0.1 compile and load/run OK.. Details of changes are here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.13.4 I had still been having problems with the uvcvideo driver (with a Logitech C525 webcam), since updating from kernel 3.12 to kernel 3.13 – and the problems is also in 3.14-rc3.. I … Continue reading →
Fedora 20 – KDE Desktop on ODROID U3 Found a suitable source tree for (old!) kernel 3.8.13.16: git clone -b odroid-3.8.y –single-branch https://github.com/hardkernel/linux – which compiled on the device itself with no problems – the old-fashioned way (# make zImage, etc..) and installed and ran without problems: Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) Kernel 3.8.13.16 on an armv7l (ttySAC1) … Continue reading →
NVIDIA have just released driver 334.16, but – despite the fact that Kernel 3.13 has been released for some time now – the driver still fails to load correctly, with the same ”Unknown symbol acpi_os_wait_events_complete (err 0)” error.. So, the existing known/good kernel 3.13 patch still applies, except that the section of the patch relating to /uvm/nvidia_uvm_linux.h … Continue reading →
There is an article on DevZone that includes a possible Kernel 3.14 patch, from s_molgaard, for driver 331.38: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/683534/linux/331-38-on-3-14-rc1-kernel/ The patch format is – apparently – for kernel boot-time patching using dkms, which I don’t use.. So.. I just manually applied the changes shown for nv-linux.h to the Kernel 3.13 patch mentioned in my previous article https://rglinuxtech.com/?p=1032, … Continue reading →
There have been several ‘Kernel 3.13’ patches on various sites for the latest NVIDIA drivers, and I have finally found one that – on my system – actually works, without causing uvcvideo / usb problems (see previous articles..) Thanks to the folks at ArchLinux, the patch can be found here: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/nvidia_3.13_kernel.patch?h=packages/nvidia Be aware that there are other … Continue reading →

Just updated the test system to Kernel 3.14-rc1, and did the usual tests with the latest VMware (10.0.1) and NVIDIA (331.38). VMware compile failed with the VMware version of vmci, but this can be fixed by selecting the kernel.org versions of these modules, from the standard 3.14-rc1 source tree. The vmci module can be found under ‘Misc … Continue reading →
