The result is the same either way - it says there's a discrepancy between the kernel and source versions and/or the version of gcc they were compiled to.

It's the onboard (ASUS M2NPV-VM) video, an NVIDIA GeFoorce 6160 GPU. I found a workaround: I boot to runlevel 3 then start x. It works fine, and I haven't lost a pointer since. Has anybody found a work-around for the kernel bug that prevents kmod-nvidia from being installed? If any of you have this mobo, do you have sound? I don't. john2 Make that GeForce 6150.

I have the exact same problem - losing the mouse pointer after installing Core 6 on a new Athlon 64X2 3800+ and Logitech 3 button mouse. I tried installing Core 5 and never saw the pointer. At least with Core 6 I have a pointer at first. X windows seems to be freaky and has locked up my machine a couple of times. Do you still have the problem?
