For exampl e: some distributions that use devfs do not run the devfs daemon in runlevel 1, making it difficult for `nvidia-installer` to correctly setup the kernel module configuration files. It is recommended that you quit installation no w and switch to runlevel 3 (`telinit 3`) before installing. Quit installation now? (select 'No' to continue installation) (Answer: No) ERROR: An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia' appears to already be loaded in your kernel. This may be because it is in use (for example, by the X server), but may also happen if your kernel was configured without support for module unloading. Please be sure you have exited X before attempting to upgrade your driver. If you have exited X, know that your kernel supports module unloading, and still receive this message, then an error may have occured that has corrupted the NVIDIA kernel module's usage count; the simplest remedy is to reboot your computer. 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.
