Greetings;

I got around to building the 2.6.23-rc1 tree, updated to yesterday with git 
from the linus tree.  The build was fairly clean, but when I rebooted to it, 
the latest nvidia installer fails, with these messages:

Is this a known problem?  Do I need to report it to nvidia somehow?  It looks 
to me like it may be their problem, and I have submitted it, but if anyone 
has a better idea, please advise.  System is FC6, uptodate as of yesterday.
 
Thanks all.

Well, you do not *need* to report it, just as you do not need to report
kernel oopses or Windows crashes. They'll eventually stumble upon
that themselves

Better idea? Fix the source until they have a fix. It seems to be
just an extra argument to kmem_cache_create that got removed.

Gene, this happens almost every kernel version. You should know that binary 
drivers are OT for LKML, and if you want to report the problem you go through 
the linux-bugs@nvidia.com address clearly printed in the driver 
documentation, and on their website.

(As it turns out, the fix is very easy and you could easily fix it yourself. 
Just run --extract-only on the installer and poke around the affected files, 
removing the extra "NULL" argument to kmem_cache_create().)

Cheers,
Alistair.

Gene,
the last argument to kmem_cache_create has been removed.  It should be
a simple matter to delete it from the caller, since it already was
unsupported by the callees in previous kernels.

I know it's off topic here, but this will help people.

When that happens, check their forum. Chances are someone has
posted, and the nvidia developers have answered with a patch, code
snippet, quick instructions to get it to compile or advice to try a
beta driver if applicable.

At least for solidarity for those stuck with it, patch below.
