    The mospost script is only present after configuring the kernel source with
    'make config' (or another variant). However, the nforce drivers will not work
    with any 2.6 kernel (or any kernel after 2.5.48 because of a change in the
    kernel module format).

    There are several patches floating around that claim to allow the nforce
    module to work with new module format, but the three or four I have tried have
    not worked at all.

    If anyone else out there knows of a way to get the nforce working they might
    be able to point us in the right direction.
