Problems with NVidia drivers for Linux, advice needed

Chaotic42

Lifer
Well, I've got my second processor in, and my extra 512MB of RAM. I'm now having a problem with the NVidia driver for my Geforce 4.
It says to get SMP support, I have type
'make SYSINCLUDE=/home/chaotic42/linux/linux/include'
which I did.

I still however get the following errors
unresolved symbol __global_cli
unresolved symbol tqueue_lock
unresolved symbol __global_save_flags
unresolved symbol __global_resote_flags

Is there anyone who has had this kind of problem? I've checked, and the kernel is configured correctly.
I'm running dual 1800+s on a Tyan Tiger MP with a Geforce 4 Ti4400.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
By the way, this place looks nice in Lynx. 😉

Is that the kernel you're running? If not, did you atleast do 'make dep'?

Ok, I got it.

I unzipped a fresh kernel, ran

make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep

Got the kernel out

make clean

Then compiled the latest NVidia kernel driver pointing to my SMP kernel
Compiled GLX

Now everything is cool. Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'll write a FAQ.
