Hi, I have mandrake 7.2 installed on my system with xfree86 4.0.1 I I downloaded the appropriate tar files for my distro...and now the problem. When I try to compile the kernel I get a strange error I untar the file, switch to the directory and type in make and it goes through its steps but then it says "insmod NVdriver failed" and "Make: *** [package-install] error 255" The GLX driver installs just fine but the kernel doesnt compile right. I have read a step by step instruction on how to install this driver and I think I haven't missed any steps...what am I doing wrong?
