Hi folks, perhaps someone can shed some light on this problem? |

nvidia driver fails to load. In dmesg I find this: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. |
| 6 |
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 |
| 7 |
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 |
| 8 |
NVRM: The IO regions for your NVIDIA card are invalid. |
| 9 |
NVRM: Your system BIOS may have misconfigured your graphics card. |
| 10 |
NVRM: bar1 (framebuffer) appears to be wrong: 0x0 0x0 |
| 11 |
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled |
| 12 |
nvidia: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -1 |
| 13 |
NVRM: the NVIDIA probe routine was not called for 1 device(s)!! |
| 14 |
NVRM: no devices probed, aborting! |
| 15 |
NVRM: this often occurs when rivafb is loaded and claims the device's |
| 16 |
resources. |
| 17 |
NVRM: try removing the rivafb module (or reconfiguring your kernel to |
| 18 |
remove |
| 19 |
NVRM: rivafb support) and then try loading the NVIDIA kernel module |
| 20 |
again. |

Now, this is an NVidia GeForce 6600 PCI-X card on an Intel SE7525RP2 |
| 23 |
motherboard with 1GB ram. Kernel 2.6.15 gentoo sources r1, nvidia |
| 24 |
drivers nvidia-kernel 1.0.6629-r5 and nvidia-glx 1.0.6629-r6. |

According to what little I've found on the web, there seems to be |
| 27 |
something weird with bios? I've tried cmos clear, and restarting with |
| 28 |
all cards unplugged, but I can't get it to work. |
| 29 |
Some sites suggested there might be some bios settings left if the |
| 30 |
pci-x had been plugged in before the ram expansion, which was the |
| 31 |
case here. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Any suggestions? |
