<SOLVED> NVidia driver doesn't load with kernel 3.2

[elbarto]

Hi guys,

I've just did a full apt-get upgrade after a long time and the nvidia driver doesn't load with kernel 3.2.
I was able to boot using kernel 3.0 and with that the driver works properly.

Is it possible to have nvidia drivers working with kernel 3.2? If not, how can I tell grub to automatically load kernel 3.0 instead of 3.2?

I'm using this nVidia module:

Code: Select all

NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  295.20  Mon Feb  6 21:07:30 PST 2012
GCC version:  gcc version 4.5.3 (Debian 4.5.3-12) 

Thanks!

UP4 is being a nightmare with my NVidia GeForce
Have you tried this?

Code: Select all

blacklist nouveau

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Try:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-kernel-dkms virtualbox-dkms

Hmm, so this breakage has slipped in UP4 too...

Its ironical this, a few months ago I switched over to using sgfxi for nvidia installs, but I switched back to dkms because I had to run sgfxi after every kernel update, but now I have to update nvidia-kernel-dkms every time instead. I might as well have stayed where I was.

Thanks! This solved my problem.
