Dear Sirs!
Now with 4.6.0.1 compilation (as I always have do do it w/ new kernel) the attached issue came up. It seems Suse (?) changed parameters in kernel sources… Its the http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/95164/en-us which I need for my 9300 GS.
nvidia-installer.log starts with a hint to do make oldconfig in kernel sources:

Using: nvidia-installer ncurses user interface
→ License accepted.
→ Installing NVIDIA driver version 340.96.
→ There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 340.96). As part of installing this driver (version: 340.96), the existing driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? (Answer: Continue installation)
→ Running distribution scripts
executing: ‘/usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install’…
grep: /etc/sysconfig/kernel: No such file or directory
→ done.
→ The distribution-provided pre-install script completed successfully. If this is the first time you have run the installer, this script may have helped disable Nouveau, but a reboot may be required first. Would you like to continue, or would you prefer to abort installation to reboot the system? (Answer: Continue installation)

ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file ‘/var/log/nvidia-installer.log’ for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com.
The README mentioned above did actually not point me to solving the error.
I am well aware I should have sticked to 13.2 and not install tumbleweed…
Possibly unrelated issue came up with 4.4.0.1 when dvb-t broke (tda10048, 05:01.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7131/SAA7133/SAA7135 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev d1)). The system froze when starting kaffeine in DVB-T. dvbstream and dvbtune same situation. Another Conexant DVB-S card works w/o issues still.05:02.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
Please help
Thanks a lot!
