What do you get when you run
Code:
uname -r
That should tell you your kernel version. Personally I think most would work but I would recommend
  • 17- kernel-source-2.6.17.11mdv-1-1mdv2007.0.x86_64 : The source code for the Linux kernel (to install)
Assuming of course your kernel version matches.

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/9631-1plf2007.0/source ->
/usr/src/nvidia-9631-1plf2007.0

DKMS: add Completed.

Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.17-5mdv cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/build or /lib/modules/2.6.17-5mdv/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

Error! Could not locate nvidia.ko.gz for module nvidia in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.17-5mdv (x86_64) first.

ok i did choose 17 and it did install but i have errors
