    Hi

    Trying to update my nvidia driver (1.0.7174-4) for the newly released
    2.6.12-5 kernel under sid results in a hugh amounts for errors, build
    log attached.

    Essentially the initial error seems to be

    In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/kernel.h:11,
                     from nv-linux.h:45,
                     from nv.c:14:
    /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/linkage.h:5:25: error:
    /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/asm/linkage.h: Too many levels
    of symbolic links
    In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/types.h:13,
                     from /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/kernel.h:13,
                     from nv-linux.h:45,
                     from nv.c:14:
    /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/posix_types.h:47:29:
    error: /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/asm/posix_types.h: Too
    many levels of symbolic links
    In file included from /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/kernel.h:13,
                     from nv-linux.h:45,
                     from nv.c:14:
    /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/linux/types.h:14:23: error:
    /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-k7/build/include/asm/types.h: Too many levels of
    symbolic links

    then loads of syntax errors (what you would expect if its missing the
    above headers)

    Any ideas

    Cheers

    Adam
