Core 5 FINAL WHEN?

**Firewing1** · 19th March 2006, 01:19 AM

nope. It's a Nvidia installer bug. I forget where I got the link, but

Code:

cat /var/log/nvidia*

to see the error, google the line, and then you'll find a (Gentoo, i think?) thread with the patch link.
edit: wow im an idiot. The patch was on my system... I attached it.

Code:

sh nvidia-installer --extract-only
cd NV*
patch -p0 < NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-8178-U012206.diff.txt
./nvidia-installer

If anyone is looking for a x86_64 DVD torrent we could use some more help. I was getting ~160 KB/s, but I'm down to ~75 KB/s now. I'm at 22% now. There is only one 100% seeder and very few downloaders right now.

I have the nvidia module fix:

Code:

wget http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-2.6.15-1.2059_FC5.`uname -m`.rpm
wget http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2059_FC5.`uname -m`.rpm
wget http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/MISC.lvn/graphics/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.lvn.5.i386.rpm
wget http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/MISC.lvn/graphics/nvidia-kmod-1.0.8178-0.lvn.3.2.6.15_1.1881_FC5.src.rpm
rpm -ihv kernel*.rpm
reboot
select the new kernel, then:
su -
rpmbuild --rebuild --target `uname -m` nvidia-kmod-*.src.rpm
cp -a /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/`uname -m`/kmod-nvidia* ./
rpm -Uvh kmod-nvidia-1.0.8178-0.*.rpm xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*
modprobe nvidia
< ctrl + alt + delete >

reboot, enjoy

FYI... I used that link from Spain further up in the thread and it worked pretty well. Was getting almost 400 kB/s. Took under 2.5 hours to download the entire DVD iso.

I was on the piratebay.org torrent, but my throughput was just stuck between 60-100 kB/s. I just checked back again, and there are like 7 full seeders, with only a couple dozen peers, and the throughput was no better. I may be the victim of some serious packet shaping by adelphia.

Downloading CD1 @ 29kb/s and CD2 @ 12kb/s..

slow.. but worth waiting..

uhmm...i`ve got a little error with the nvidia driver...

Code:

wget http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2059_FC5.`uname -r`.rpm
--06:48:16--  http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2059_FC5.2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.rpm
           => `kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2059_FC5.2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.rpm'

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
06:48:17 ERROR 404: Not Found.

I guess it seems that it cannot find the kernel-devel package ... any ideas?

@firewing: I was 99.9% convinced on installing fc5 before monday. I would have probably installed it 30 minutes after burning the DVD. But I decided to install it right away because of the nvidia driver thing.

Edit: I belive that it gives me that error because i have a smp kernel and there is no smp kernel on that server...
