I've some how managed to get the 2.6.12.10-amd64-k8 kernel installed.
I've followed this guide to install the drivers http://www.linuxloader.com/modules.p...howpage&pid=27
But when running the install I got the following...
After a reboot I noticed (uname -r) that I'm back using the 2.6.12-10-amd64-generic and not the k8 version.
I'm guessing the prob is that I have the k8 linux-headers and not the generic ones installed...? (but I wanna use the k8 kernel)
I can no longer change to the k8 kernel....? In Adept I'm sure it had upgraded next to linux-image-2.6.12-10-generic before (just says installed now & I cant remove it).
last thing I tried installing the drivers yesterday (reformatted since then) on the generic kernel which worked fine but after a reboot kdm did not load (managed to get back by editing the xorg.conf but anyway..). I read that i need to remove apt-get restrictions or something to allow the nVidia drivers to run, how do I do that?
Sorry for the long post.

Code:
ERROR: Unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
