An interesting thread on compatibility of NVidia drivers with 6.0 kernels: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/4 ... l/229735/4
Basically, I might have to apply a patch. But anyway, I'm not even getting to that stage, at the moment my porteus doesn't pass NVidia's "CC sanity check"
pretty sure the latest 470.161 release doesn't need to patched for 6.* kernels any more.. and the 5.25 series for newish cards is fine too..

Working on creating the NV driver 340.108 for kernel 6.1.1, will use the *run as provided by beny.

Note 1: Compiler that was used.
for kernel 6.1.1: 11.2.0-x86_64
and that is the very same version as in the 05-devel module of Porteus 5.0:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mybin/linux/porteus/5.0/x86-64# md5sum 05-devel.xzm 
4ad2c0217ec914cb02aab3b77fd55fe5  05-devel.xzm
root@porteus:/mybin/linux/porteus/5.0/x86-64# mloop 05-devel.xzm
using /dev/loop11

Please wait while I gather some info ....


 Nothing is mounted in /mnt/loop.

 Your module has been mounted at: 
/mnt/loop

 You can unmount it by typing uloop

 Here is a list of the files:
etc  lib  lib64  usr  var

root@porteus:/mybin/linux/porteus/5.0/x86-64# /mnt/loop/usr/bin/cc --version

all should be ready to set up the compile-boot with kernel 6.1.1, with its 000-kernel.xzm and its 06-crippled_sources-6.1.1-64bit.xzm and of course the generic blacklist module, and of course boot into mode 3 (text mode, virtual terminal mode)

Or am I still missing things?
Cheers!

when you have to use save-changes script to save the nvidia package is better that you do this task on a clean system to reduce to add files that isn't for the nvidia driver,but i can go wrong on this....

^
you are correct, aside from the needed modules as named above I think I will only load 000- 001- and 002- modules.
not even any 003- should be needed since you cannot and should not startx prior the compilation of the driver for NVIDIA GPU.
Cheers!

I wrote the script which builds nvidia driver module unattendedly https://gitlab.com/i3slkiller/porteusbu ... type=heads
I need to know from nvidia card owners if this module (not) works (no, I don't have nvidia card).
