[PlanetCCRMA] a step further (Planet CCRMA on HP dv9500t CTO)

Fri Apr 18 16:04:25 PDT 2008

Hello,

The best way to get Nvidia drivers to work with PlanetCCRMA's kernel
is to rebuild the livna source rpm.  You'll need kernel-devel...  You
will have to download the livna package from:

http://livna-dl.reloumirrors.net/fedora/8/SRPMS/

Install it, and then edit the spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS so
that the kernel name matches your target ccrma kernel (the output of
uname -r if you are running the kernel you want to rebuild for).
You'll also need to get rid of references at the beginning of the spec
file for every type of kernel and processor besides "up" (I think this
is right -- I don't have a linux machine in front of me currently, and
I'm working on memory).  This means getting rid of references to pae,
xen, ppc, etc. from a line of spec script -- I usually get rid of them
in the initial defines as well, just so there's no expectation of
reference to them in the rest of the script.

When you're done, you can

rpmbuild -ba --target i686 nvidia.spec

(or whatever the spec file is called -- and this assumes you're not
running x86_64)

If this goes through to the end without throwing an error, you can
install (the output of the build process will be displayed in your
shell -- you'll build a .src.rpm, a debug rpm (I think) and a plain
rpm -- install the plain rpm).

You can do the same process with livna's madwifi package for atheros
wireless drivers.  You used to be able to do it with the ATI driver,
too, but I haven't tried in a while -- it was broken last I tried,
since apparently there are things in the ccrma kernel which won't let
you compile or load certain proprietary drivers.

Hope this helps, and I hope I didn't screw up something in my recollection.

Perhaps I am missing a library??? Here is the (rather lengthy... sorry...) output from the terminal. This happens when I right-click the first cell, and click the option "New" for a new sequence... BTW, this if from Fedora's kernel, not Planet CCRMA's, Jack not enabled (though it appears it has somehow called it???) Look for: *** buffer overflow detected ***: seq24 terminated  Thats right where it crashes for me...
