I have a workstation with GeForce2GTS video card, which is only supported by NVidia driver 71.86.04. Recently I’ve installed openSUSE 11 x86, and now I’m trying to use this driver with 2.6.25 kernel, which comes woth the distribution. Howto on Nvidia site says to apply patch, but when I try to do this, I’ve got an error:
# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.01-pkg1.run --apply-patch NVIDIA_kernel-71.86.04-2305230.diff.txt
Verifying archive integrity... OK

Failed to apply patch file "/home/madcad/Install/Driver/NVIDIA_kernel-71.86.04-2305230.diff.txt".
Doesn’t anybody know a way to solve this problem?
I was unable to find usr/src/nv/nv.c.rej or any other files - looks like they are comes from NVidia driver and being deleted after patch run fails.
