Linux upgrade to latest RH 9 breaks XSI 4.0 2004-06-12 - By Henry Katz
Back
Hi,
I installed RH 9.0 stock CD and Nvidia
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run and had no problems using
XSI 4.0. Then I upgraded to the latest RPM's using RHN. This upgraded
kernel from:
2.4.20-8smp to 2.4.20-31.9smp and lots of other things. The nvidia
driver needed to be reinstalled at which
time it recompiled itself as there was no suitable driver it could find
to match this RHN kernel. Afterwards
XSI would come up but core dump. Specifically, it would come up, display
the splash logo, ask which method
of interaction you wanted to use ( I would remove the Softimage
directory in the case that the registry was
corrupt), and then blow up within a second or two. I have a core dump
and a strace here <http://www.iscs-i.com/LINKS/XSI/> and all the sysinfo.
Any suggestions before I reinstall RH 9.0 stock CD and start again?
Thanks,
Henry Katz
