I did this and it installed the lastest kernel's PAE version. And its
running too.
# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Sep 25
04:56:58 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
HOWEVER... when it was booting, it gave a couple errors about not being
able to find the nvidia driver and it appears not have installed it
either:
$ lsmod | grep nvidia
$ lsmod | grep nv
$ lsmod | grep vid
video 18744 0
uvcvideo 50572 0
videodev 29612 1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat 12048 2 uvcvideo,videodev
output 2476 1 video
There is no kmod-nvidia for this kernel. I have been using akmod-nvidia
for my nvidia drivers. Does akmod-nvidia not work with PAE kernels or
do I have do set up something different ?
Thanks
