Subject: Force manual build from akmod
Yum installed the 3.11 kernel on my F19 x86_64 box and normally akmod
would have built the nvidia driver (319.32-2) for the new kernel,
but no such luck. Where does the akmod service keep its log files so
I can look into what went wrong? Also, is it possible to manually
build the akmod files? I looked at this set of directions
http://fedorasolved.org/Members/zcat/akmods , but it is outdated
(and running systemctl restart akmods.service didn't yield any
output)?
Hello George,
There has been an ABI change in the kernel at version 3.11 affecting all binaries that use
it, including the nvidia drivers.
This is a very simple change with a simple fix.
Here is the bugzilla entry.
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2956
The fix is out, you can find it here:

This has not been released in the the rpmfusion repos because the buildsystem is currently
broken.

[ra@hamburger ~]$ lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia 9430089 57

The fix is working great for me.
