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. 137/1 Warrender Park Road, Edinburgh, UK.
