Hello. Using up2date I downloaded/installed kernel 2.4.18-18.8.0 (from 2.4.18-17.8.0) & its source files. On my current 2.4.18-17.8.0 setup I installed nVidia 1.0-3.23 OpenGL drivers (works fine). Whenever I try to boot into the 2.4.18-18.8.0 environment from LILO, X can not be started. I go to root & when I try to compile the nVidia drivers from instructions at www.osnews.com that pertain specifically to psyche (this is how I compiled the working drivers I now have) I get an error at the first command. rpm -i NVIDIA* this returns the following error message "warning: user buildmeister does not exist - using root I also got the same error when i went from the kernel on the redhat 8 discs, 2.4.18-14 to the current 2.4.18-17.8.0. I realized that I did not have the source loaded for 2.4.18-14 & as soon as I did this , I was able to upgrade. However, as noted above I did download the latest kernel & its source files from redhat. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. p.s. I have a stock redhat 8 install except for one thing. I used Ximian magic-carpet to upgrade to the latest version of evolution ..1.2 & evolution only.
