Kernel – Pre-6.14rc testing – VMware OK, and Simple Fix for NVIDIA..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on January 27, 2025 by RGJanuary 27, 2025

Kernel 6.14-rc1 will be released soon, and I have been testing the code changes submitted so far (February 26th) with the following results: VMware 17.6.2 – including ‘clean up’ patchset from https://github.com/64kramsystem/vmware-host-modules-fork/tree/workstation-17.6.2-sav – compiles OK, but with the usual host of ‘warnings’, which seem to be accepted as good-enough these days.. NVIDIA 550.144.03 compile fails with: ………………….. … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.18-rc1 – NVIDIA Fix..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 21, 2014 by RGOctober 21, 2014

Thanks to juston_li, there is a one-line fix to enable the latest NVIDIA drivers to compile with Kernel 3.18-rc1 See: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/783364/linux/343-22-driver-incompatible-with-linux-3-18-/ The fix there is for Beta version 343.22, but I applied it to main version 340.46, as follows: In NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.46/kernel/nv-drm.c , at line 19, change #if defined(NV_DRM_AVAILABLE) #include <drm/drmP.h> to #if defined(NV_DRM_AVAILABLE) #include <drm/drmP.h> #include <drm/drm_gem.h> … Continue reading →

Kernel 3.12-rc4 – With fix for NVIDIA..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 7, 2013 by RGOctober 7, 2013

Just installed Kernel 3.12-rc4 on the test system, and I can confirm – as expected – that it does include the ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL‘ fix, which allows the NVIDIA 3.12 patch to work correctly.    Details of changes are here:    https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/6/148 Patched NVIDIA drivers 331.13 and 319.60 both compile OK Robert Gadsdon.   October 7, 2013 … Continue reading →

3.7-rc1 – Problems with VMware and NVIDIA.. – and Fixes..?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on October 15, 2012 by RGOctober 15, 2012

Just compiled and installed 3.7-rc1 on my test system, and ran into problems straight away.. NVIDIA (304.51) compile fails with a whole host of errors, and VMware (9.0-patched) compile fails immediately, with: vthread-3| I120: Failed version test: /usr/src/linux-3.7-rc1/linux/version.h not found. Update: There is a fix for NVIDIA, here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=194465    – a patch, and the removal of VM_RESERVED … Continue reading →
