Ok, the "rt75" in the kernel name suggests to me that this is a 64-bit kernel with the no preemption patches. However, the "3.2.54-140211-rt75 (i686)" in the dkms errors suggests to me you're running on a 32-bit system. Looking at /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/304.88/build/make.log and at /var/lib/dkms/blcr/0.8.5/build/make.log would explain exactly what went wrong there. If this is in fact a 64-bit kernel, and if you are in fact running a 32-bit system, then remove that kernel, and get one for 32-bit systems. If I'm wrong on that, then looking at the make.log files would explain the module build problems. > run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub > 3.2.54-140211-rt75 /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.54-140211-rt75 > error: unknown LVM metadata header. > error: unknown LVM metadata header. If you don't have lvm, don't worry about it. If you do have lvm, then update-grub is warning you it can't make sense of one or more logical volumes. > Found Debian GNU/Linux (wheezy/sid) on /dev/mapper/chime-root > Back again live, so please what would I do next? Thanks so much in advance > Hart Ok, so you do have lvm, and your currently running kernel is 32-bit. The first thing I would do is to make sure you're installing a 32-bit kernel. If you do have a 64-bit system, then you currently seem to have 32-bit userland, so you need a 32-bit kernel.
