Update the graphics card driver and kernel to solve the problem of stopping at starting atd: [OK] during linux Startup.

It's a little complicated. You can ignore this and simply execute the commands I listed.

Method 1: In some cases, the new install Gforce Drivers do not supporte the "nouveau" module,
It indicates that in some cases (probably because the kernel is updated), the original nvidia driver conflicts with nouveau.

We recommend that you disable nouveau In the grub kernel line, that is, add the rdblacklist parameter = nouveau.

 

For example:
Menuentry "GNU/Linux "{

Set root = '(hd0, 5 )'
Linux/boot/vmlinuz * root = UUID = 6c49b6c5-04d3-4da7-b629-a3f4aae86616 ro rdblacklist = nouveau rhgb

Initrd/boot/initramfs-2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.img
}

========================================================== =====

Method 2: I upgraded the kernel and then updated the nvidia driver. The problem is solved.

Next we will mention that after each kernel upgrade (for some Nvidia graphics cards), we need to re-install the graphics card driver. Otherwise, some problems may occur.

Re this problem. Nothing to do with atd! <Br/> When we installed the nvidia driver, if we 'd remembered, it said <br/> there is a bit to do to make the kernel interface module? <Br/> See http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree8...ection-03.html <br/> So, each time we get a kernel update, we need to're-install' the drivers? <Br/> My sequence was: <br/> 1. in/etc/inittab <br/> id: 5: initdefault: <br/> # DP for updating the NVIDIA drivers <br/> # id: 3: initdefault: <br/> Comment out of the '5' line <br/> Uncomment the '3' line <br/> This makes it boot into non graphical mode, needed to mess with X windows. <br/> reboot. this brings up the most recent kernel. need to run that so the <br/> nvidia driver installation can find a matching Interface module? <Br/> run your installation script (as root-indeed all this stuff needs to be <br/> done as root ). <br/> Pre-conditions for this. <br/> 1. you have your network active-so it can go ask nvidia server if <br/> there is a compiled interface-not likely with FC11 <br/> # service network start <br/> 2. you have sources for the kernel, needed to compile the interface software? <Br/> # yum install kernel-PAE-devel <br/> This may not match your kernel! Use <br/> # uname-a <br/> to find out which kernel you have. I think this should des all the headers. <br/> if you get a message about that, try <br/> # yum install kernel-headers <br/> 3. run the nvidia driver file <br/> # chmod + x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1.run <br/> (the number might be different. that's todays latest version) <br/> Get it from </p> <p> http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d...185.18.36.html </p> <p> Follow the screen instructions. <br/> shocould all build OK. <br/> 4. at the end it offers to 'run nvidia-xconfig '..... <br/> If you 've done all this, skip this by choosing NO <br/> That's just the configuration that you 've already done. <br/> 5. change <br/>/etc/inittab <br/> id: 5: initdefault: <br/> # DP for updating the NVIDIA drivers <br/> # id: 3: initdefault: <br/> Back to runlevel 5, full X windows graphical mode. <br/> reboot... <br/> It all worked for me. <br/> YMMV

Well, I will follow the above steps:

1. download NVIDIA driver <br/> # chmod + x downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run <br/> 2 enter runlevel3 and install the graphics DRIVER: <br/> # sh downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.12.run <br/> # NVIDIA-xconfig <br/> Note: It may prompt: Disable nouveau kernel driver, click OK. <Br/> Note: After installation, run this command to perform automatic configuration: 'run NVIDIA-xconfig '.. <br/> 3. (this step may not be necessary because it is already described in method 1.) Enable/boot/grub2/grub. CFG: Add rdblacklist = nouveau to the Linux line, for example: <br/> menuentry "GNU/Linux" {<br/> set root = '(hd0, 5) '<br/> Linux/boot/vmlinuz * root = UUID = Ro quiet rdblacklist = nouveau rhgb <br/> initrd/boot/initramfs-2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.img <br/>} 

Method 3:Reference: nvidiaInstall the video card (the kernel update step is included) in the Nvidia guide for F13 Development)

It mentions:

For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9 & 200 series cards <br/> Code: <br/> su <br/> rpm-Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm <br/> yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 <br/> If you use a PAE kernel <br/> Code: <br/> su <br/> rpm-Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm <br/> yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE <br/> Or (akmod builds the required kmod on bootup) <br/> Code: <br/> su <br/> rpm-Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm <br/> yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 <br/> 2. edit grub. conf (if you omit this step the driver will fail to work) <br/> this command adds rdblacklist = nouveau option to/boot/grub. conf <br/>

 

Follow the steps above to execute the following command:

 

<Strong> 1. Add the yum image and install the nvidia graphics card driver. <Br/> # rpm-Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm <br/> # yum install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 <br/> 2. update the kernel <br/> # yum install kernel-devel <br/> ls/boot/vmlinuz * # Run this command to view the kernel. <Br/> 3. manually modify/boot/grub2/grub. cfg, (you can also use the grub2-mkconfig to automatically modify) <br/> </strong> 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is mainly to install the kernel first, and then install the video card in the multi-user command mode (run level 3) (if the video card on the official website does not work, install it based on the above-mentioned Installation Method for various kernel video cards ), uninstall the current video card (rpm-qa | grep nvidia, which is provided by Nvidia with the command nvidia-uninstall) before installing the video card driver. Remember to addRdblacklist = nouveau.
