It's kernel related. 2.6.13 doesn't create the nvidia devicess correctly |
| 2 |
with udev, which with 2.6.13 is default. You can try to put this in the |
| 3 |
local.start if you want to use this nvidia kernel versions: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do |
| 6 |
node="/dev/nvidia$i" |
| 7 |
rm -f $node |
| 8 |
mknod $node c 195 $i || echo "mknod \"$node\"" |
| 9 |
chmod 0660 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\"" |
| 10 |
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\"" |
| 11 |
done |
| 12 |
node="/dev/nvidiactl" |
| 13 |
rm -f $node |
| 14 |
mknod $node c 195 255 || echo "mknod \"$node\"" |
| 15 |
chmod 0666 $node || echo "chmod \"$node\"" |
| 16 |
chown :video $node || echo "chown \"$node\"" |
| 17 |

Hope it helps! |
