Nvidia drivers 256.44 and Salix 13.1.1 32 bits

You have one CPU with 2 cores. You need the smp kernel.

If you installed the kernel-huge package, it is because you made an effort to. You really need to go out of your way to do that during installation, so if you were looking for ways to break your system without understanding what you're doing, I'm guessing that you found one.
Yes, install the kernel-huge-smp package.

What about for 64bit Salix? I installed 64bit Salix 13.1 and I only have the kernel-huge package, and not the huge-smp package. I did not do anything special during the install and I just selected the defaults.
The output of: "slapt-get --search kernel-huge" returns:

Code: Select all

root@darkstar:~# slapt-get --search kernel-huge
kernel-huge-2.6.33.4-x86_64-1 [inst=yes]: kernel-huge (a fully-loaded SMP Linux kernel)

So it looks like the kernel-huge package for 64bit Salix is already an smp kernel. Is that right?
The output of "uname -a" is:

Code: Select all

root@darkstar:~# uname -a
Linux darkstar 2.6.33.4 #3 SMP Wed May 12 23:13:09 CDT 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

I followed this tutorial for installing the nvidia driver:
http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic. ... lit=nvidia
And it worked fine.
So is there a separate huge-smp kernel for 64bit Salix?

The 64-bit kernel is an smp kernel. There is no 64bit cpu without smp.

Ok thanks Gapan. That is what I figured when I saw the "smp" in the description of the 64bit kernel after I looked at it more closely.
I edited my post to reflect that once I saw it.
