Hi all,<br><br>I've just installed Fedora Core 8 on my laptop and am very anxious to get the planetccrma realtime kernel and all of those wonderful applications running on it. But I'm having a problem getting the rt kernel working.<br>
<br>First, my vital statistics:<br><br>Computer: HP Pavilion dv9608ca laptop, AMD Athlon 64/x2 cpu, 2GHz, 2GB memory<br>video card: nvidia MCP67M (GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M compatible)<br clear="all">Installed kernel that is working properly with the (livna-supplied) nvidia driver: 2.6.24.5-85.fc8<br>
Installed ccrma kernel: 2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2.fc8.ccrmart (NOT WORKING)<br><br>Here's my story:<br><br>I've successfully installed Fedora Core 8 on my laptop and now have a dual-boot system with Windows Vista as the other OS and GRUB as my bootloader. Everything working fine at this point. Then I installed the nvidia driver from livna to get full support for my display. Everything working superfine at this point. Played around with it for a couple of days, no problems.<br>
<br>Then I followed the instructions at planetccrma and installed the realtime kernel listed above. No problems yet.<br><br>When I rebooted into the ccrma kernel I noticed some error messages involving the nvidia driver. Couldn't find <a href="http://nvidia.ro">nvidia.ro</a> or something like that. I didn't see the nvidia splash screen during boot either, so it definitely wasn't initializing properly. When I got to the login screen I was able to login to the GUI but it was unstable and eventually just froze; no response from mouse or keyboard. I've read many of the posts on various forums about similar problems being experienced by others and their solutions, but it's all a bit confusing and I don't want to do something out of desperation and loose my whole system in the process.<br>
<br>Here's what I THINK the problem is:<br><br>Because I installed the nvidia driver while running under the 2.6.24.5-85.fc8 kernel (and before installing the planetccrma realtime kernel) it only works with that kernel, and does not work with the ccrma kernel. After viewing the livna repository files I noted that there aren't any driver rpm's for the ccrma version of the kernel (2.6.24.3-1.rt1.2.fc8.ccrmart). Many people talked about this in the forums and suggested downloading the livna sources and re-compiling the driver for the ccrma kernel. Is this what I need to do?<br>
<br>Here's what I THINK I have to do:<br><br>1. Install the kernel-rt-devel package for the ccrma realtime kernel (do I need the kernel-headers too?)<br>2. Download the source rpm's for the livna driver<br>3. Install the source rpm's for the livna driver<br>
4. Compile the livna source rpm's and install the resulting binary rpm's while running under the ccrma realtime kernel<br>5. Reboot and I will be in ccrma heaven<br><br>Is this correct?<br>If so, could someone please give me, or point me to, detailed instructions on how to accomplish this. I'm far from a Linux expert and very new to Fedora.<br>
<br>If it's not correct, could someone please illuminate me.<br><br><br>-- <br>Kind Regards,<br>
