nvidia gforce2 MMX 32meg failure

[Gene Heskett]

Greets;

I just tried to boot 2.6.0-test3, without the advansys driver in the 
kernel, intending to test it, but then recalled that the patches 
applied to the unpacked 
	NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2
src tree, the 
	NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4496-2.5.diff,
hadn't made it work for test2, so I tried that first.

This script was executed to build the nvidia install, as per the 
instructions in the patch:
------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd usr/src/nv
make
cd ../../..
make install
------------------
Which appears to build as expected.

That still fails during startx, at about the point where the nvidia 
splash screen should be seen, requireing a hardware reset to recover.  
I've saved the XFree86.0.log, so what list do I send it for a 
pathology report and a new prescription/patch?

Obviously, back on a 2.4.22-rc2 kernel boot.  I'll try the advansys 
modprobe next.

Side comment:  When I shutdown x, and then reboot after sending this 
msg, the fact that I've been running a 2.6 kernel will probably be 
confirmed by the shutdown scripts being unable to unmount my /usr on 
/dev/hda8, and this will be the case until such time as I let e2fsk 
scan it, reporting no problems when it does.

To me, that says there is still something a bit fubar with the ide 
stuffs yet.
