If you use the official kernel to install a video card on Ubuntu 10.04, an error occurs when you use the nvidia driver. The nvidia. ko error occurs.

This problem has been solved by Fedora for a long time and has only arrived at Ubuntu. The prompt is that Ubuntu has enabled the kernel nvidia driver module and blocked the nouveau module.

Work required before Compilation:
# Apt-get install fakeroot build-essential
# Apt-get install crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-wedge
# Apt-get build-dep linux
# Apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

Download the kernel:
Http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
I chose 2.6.33.3, which is the same as the original author.

Compile:
# Make localmodconfig can be used for simplified compilation. It is configured according to the mod used by your current system. During the process, a series of options are displayed, I select all n and finally generate. config I encountered a dot error, but I did not compile the image.
After the. config file is generated, remember to block the module nouveau, which is in uppercase * NOUVEAU. www.linuxidc.com can be edited by gedit to change m to n and y to n.

# Cd/usr/src/linux-2.6 ***
# Fakeroot make-kpkg-initrd-append-to-version =-orange0.1 kernel-image kernel-headers
If an error occurs and you need to install make-kpkg, the system will prompt you to install the software named build-essetial.

Install the generated file:
# Cd .. Two dep files are generated
# Install dpkg-I *
# Mkinitramfs-o/boot/initrd. img-2.6.33.3-orange0.1 2.6.33.3-orange0.1
