1 Hi ppl,
2
3 I cannot emerge nvidia-kernel because it thinks:
4 "Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support!"
5 this is what emerge complains about:
6 ------------
7 Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support!
8
9 The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver, please
10 reconfigure your kernel and *disable* rivafb support, then
11 try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.
12
13 *** Failed rivafb sanity check. Bailing out! ***
14
15 make[1]: *** [rivafb-sanity-check] Error 1
16 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
17 Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support as
18 a loadable kernel module.
19
20 The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver; the
21 NVIDIA kernel module will still be built and installed,
22 but be aware that the NVIDIA driver will not be able to
23 function properly if the rivafb module is loaded!
24
25 *** Failed rivafb module sanity check, but continuing! ***
26
27 make: *** [module] Error 2
28 -------------

30 but it is not.
31
32 feynman ~ # uname -r
33 2.6.14-gentoo-r5
34 feynman ~ # zgrep -i riva /proc/config.gz
35 CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y
36 # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
37 feynman ~ # zgrep -i riva /usr/src/linux/.config
38 CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y
39 # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
40 feynman ~ # zgrep -i riva /usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r5/.config
41 CONFIG_IPV6_PRIVACY=y
42 # CONFIG_FB_RIVA is not set
43
44 I think its thinking IPV6_PRIVACY which contains the string RIVA, is FB_RIVA.
45
46 best regards,
47
48 btw, this happens with the stable and the unstable nvidia-kernel ebuilds.
49 anyone knows how I can "modify" its checks? I cannot find anything
50 related to riva checks on the ebuild itself.
