Screen Dump with erros showing.

When running upgrade process (from K5.3.13) to 5.4 x2 problems appear.

a) 1st error looks like missing firmware 

b) 2nd error fails on graphics driver (Nvidia 430.50 driver already installed &
had been working fine in K5.3.13) The graphics card is an Nvidia GT 710.

System is running Linux Mint 9.2 (tina)

Details:- When I had installed K5.4 (after the errors showed) & rebooted the
system came back up, the mouse pointer showed immediately the wrong screen
resolution. After desktop login there was an error message saying that I had no
video acceleration.Please run driver manager which I did but it only showed the
correct previously selected driver 430.50 as selected. So driver manager was no
help whats ever.

To conclude:- I had to revert the kernal back to K5.3.13 and this solved the
problems.

NOTES:- Screen Dump of the problems at upgrade & also sending you the make.log
from the Nvidia driver/card.

The Module.symvers file is missing, or does not contain any
symbols exported from the kernel. This could cause the NVIDIA
kernel modules to be built against a configuration that does
not accurately reflect the actual target kernel.
The Module.symvers file check can be disabled by setting the
environment variable IGNORE_MISSING_MODULE_SYMVERS to 1.
