Bus Error (nVidia)
I'm in the process of rebuilding my multimedia player Ding. I upgraded the Kernel (2.6.18) and the OS (Debian testing), but have a strange problem with building the nvidia drivers:
ding:/usr/src# sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run Verifying archive integrity... OK Uncompressing NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86 1.0-8774... NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1.run: line 926: 8406 Bus error $script $scriptargs $*
I havn't the slightest idea what causes this. I also tried older driver packages with the same result. An strace brought the following output:
gettimeofday({1160596514, 741277}, NULL) = 0
getpid() = 6913
open("/tmp/nv-VUiCVZ", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = 4
lseek(4, 61404, SEEK_SET) = 61404
write(4, "\0", 1) = 1
mmap2(NULL, 61405, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 4, 0) = 0xb7e00000
--- SIGBUS (Bus error) @ 0 (0) ---
So this mmap2 call seems to cause a SIGBUS signal, but what can I do to fix this? Googling didn't brought up anything useful 
If anyone has an idea please post a comment.
