[CentOS] Nvidia card fails with new kernel 2.6.9-42.EL
I have a NVIDIA 5200 FX graphics card. After reinstalling the nvidia driver for kernel 2.6.9-42-EL and doing a startx command from lvl 3, the x window software issues a failed to get interupt from graphics driver. I tried to reinstall the graphics driver again and got the same results. I changed back to the previous kernel and reinstalled the nvidia driver and the problem went away. I am at wonder why this would happen with a kernel upgrade from centos. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097

Removing the optional xrender stopped module from causing kernel panics. Check your config. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell
