FIXED - nvidia init fail

Postby MontyWilliams » Nov 22nd, '13, 04:49

Problem: After kernel updates I cannot boot into cauldron graphics mode with nvidia driver. Nouveau does not work with my 8400 GS card.

See: Bug 8863 - Latest kernel update makes nVidia driver fail (fixed)

Workaround:
I can boot into safe mode, run XFdrake to set driver to nvidia, run dracut -f --omit-driver nouveau, startx and get into graphics mode.
However reboot puts /etc/X11/Xorg.conf back to nouveau as driver.

Mandriva 4 cauldron updated to this date. X86-64. dracut 034 10 mga4.

Update 13/12/9: With today's updates, reboot now comes up in nvidia.

I had the same problem so I built the nvidia drivers from source and all was well
