There are four different methods for installing the kernel module.

Use module-assistant

This method is easy, and should work with most stock or custom kernels. For a custom kernel, you need to have its Linux headers installed.

It needs module-assistant and nvidia-kernel-common. To install them with apt-get:

# apt-get install module-assistant nvidia-kernel-common

Run the following command:

# m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-source

And that's it. If all went well, your nvidia kernel module is now built and installed; you may proceed to step 3. If not, read the rest of this section.

You must use the same version of gcc to build your nvidia kernel module as was used to build your kernel. This might be a problem if you are running a stock kernel. If module-assistant fails, read its log output and look for messages suggesting that you need, for example, gcc-4.0 instead of gcc-4.1. Then install the corresponding package and retry auto-install.

You also might have problems if a previous (failed) attempt at building the nvidia kernel module has left stuff at /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/

If this happens, you can try removing the old files:

# rm -r /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/

and running "auto-install" again.

The auto-install step is the biggest step of the procedure, and is the most likely to fail. auto-install can be divided in smaller module-assistant steps, which can help debugging:

*

get
*

build
*

install

If # m-a get nvidia; fails, try installing the nvidia-kernel-source package. If APT fails to install nvidia-kernel-source, you should go back to step 0 and make sure you didn't miss something.

If you are unable to install the module using module-assistant, try installing a pre-built module if you use a stock kernel or try to build manually, with a custom kernel.

1. Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.

2. Switch to the root user by entering the command “su -” (without the quotes) and typing in your root password

3. Edit the file /etc/yum.conf. Using nano we type the command “nano -w /etc/yum.conf”

4. If you have already configured yum to use the ATrpms repository then append “*nvidia-graphics*” to the end of the “includepkgs” line and skip the next setup. Otherwise continue on.

5. Add the following to the bottom of this file:

[atrpms]
name=EL $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
exclude=*kmdl*i586*
includepkgs=*nvidia-graphics*

6. Save the file. In nano you press Ctrl-X, answer yes to the “Save modified buffer” question and then press enter on the file name to write.

7. If you have not previously setup ATrpms execute the following command:

rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

8. Now execute the following command:

yum install nvidia-graphics169.07 nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-`uname -r`

9. Reboot your system and you will be using the nvidia driver.
Troubleshooting

Normally after installing the nvidia driver with the steps above your xorg.conf file should have automatically been updates to use the newer driver. If this did not happen or for some reason it has reverted then, as root, enter the following command:

nvidia-xconfig

This will switch you back to the nvidia driver.

Oncelikle “atl1.ko for 2.6.18-4-486″ modulumuzu indirip cd yada usp yada disketeimize kopyaliyalim ardindan dmesg grep 2 lisini kullanarak usbbellegimizi gorup gormedigine bakalim  bende sdb1 idi daha sonrada
