I plugged in the card in place of the old GeForce GT220 on the machine with CentOS 6.7 and the old 331 driver. It seemed to work fine. Both displays lit up with the correct panels etc.
I installed the latest nvidia-detect thusly:
Code: Select all
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install nvidia-detect
Code: Select all
[root@taylor12 ken]# nvidia-detect -v
Probing for supported NVIDIA devices...
[10de:0ff3] NVIDIA Corporation GK107GL [Quadro K420]
This device requires the current 352.63 NVIDIA driver kmod-nvidia
Code: Select all
[root@taylor12 ken]# yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-nvidia

Working. This may take some time ...
gzip: /boot/initramfs-2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64.tmp.gz: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `/boot/initramfs-2.6.32-573.3.1.el6.x86_64.tmp': No such file or directory
Done.
Upon boot it got to the point where the blue bars chase one another across the bottom of the screen. The bar turned white and that was it. It goes no further. I guess I should have pressed Esc to watch the messages. I will switch back to my test drive and do that - perhaps it will tell me something.
In the interim - have I done something wrong???
TIA,
Ken
