Re: Invalid module format ?

J.A. Magallon ,

Grab the latest offical nvidia driver 5336 , then patch it with the patch 
aviable from http://www.minion.de/nvidia.html ( there patch allows the nvidia 
driver to compile and work under gcc 3.4 ). 

You also may want to make sure your using the latest module-init-tools.
