help request: installing nvidia drivers on kernel-rt

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Dear All
can anybody please let me know the sequence of commands to install the nvidia drivers while using the RT kernel in opensuse 11.0 ?
Since the drivers are available only for the default and PAE kernels
I tried the “sh driver -q procedure”, but the driver gives me an error relative to the kernel not being configured properly.
A similar procedure works for me instead with the other kernels or after recompiling a new kernel from the sources.

Thank you very much for any help

Does this help?

Thanks a lot

I tried to apply the proposed solution, but still the installer hangs complaining about kernel header files not being configured.

i found a sort of workaround by recompiling the default kernel and setting the timer up to 1000 hz.
In that case the drivers compile.
Maybe it is not exactly like a RT kernel, but it is surely faster.

Hm…
As root, try a
cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig

and try again.
