NVidia installer problems

[Samoth]

I am running a 2.6.13.2 vanilla kernel with a suspend2 patch. I have been having trouble installing the nvidia 1.0-7174 driver. Now, i know that someone will bring it up but the reason i am using 7174 is because i have a nvidia TNT2 card and i needed a legacy driver. So.....i downloaded it. but i am having trouble installing it. I am running runlevel 3 and this is the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
   ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
   rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
   this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
   your kernel.
-> Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.10/source'

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
       you either have configured kernel sources matching your
       kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
       on your system.

       If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
       you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
       installed on your system. If you specified a separate
       output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
       the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
       directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
       the appropriate nvidia-installer command line option.

Anybody have any ideas? I have the nvidia framebuffer support on in the Device drivers>graphics support.

First I'd make sure you have the kernel sources installed, as well as gcc and make.

[Samoth]

got gcc and make installed. I also have the kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2. i am sure i have gcc and make installed because i program with both of them.

I also have the kernel sources installed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2.

Ok. Well, the source path the installer is looking for is different from the one you mentioned (from your error message above):

Kernel source path: '/lib/modules/2.6.10/source'

There's a command line option you can pass the installer to tell it where your kernel sources are... I just don't remember it. I'm pretty sure it's in the documentation somewhere.

[Samoth]

Not sure if this matters but /lib/modules/2.6.13.2/source is a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2. I think it is a Hard link as opposed to a soft link "man ln"

-> done.
-> Kernel module compilation complete.
ERROR: Unable to load the kernel module 'nvidia.ko'.  This is most likely
       because the kernel module was built using the wrong kernel source files.
       Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your
       kernel; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the
       'kernel-source' rpm installed.  If you know the correct kernel source
       files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the
       '--kernel-source-path' commandline option.

i think that i have found the problem. during bootup it says

FATAL: Module agpgart not found

Anybody know where agp support is in the kernel configuration?

P.S. thanx techiemoe for your help it is greatly appreciated
