cuda-gdb has driver error initialization

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

hi there,

It’s my first time to run cuda-gdb.

After using nvcc -g -G to compile .cu file, I run
cuda-gdb foo.cu to debug, but I have

[root@localhost debug]# cuda-gdb simpleTemplates

(cuda-gdb) r
Starting program: /root/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/C/bin/linux/debug/simpleTemplates
error: The CUDA driver failed initialization.
(cuda-gdb)

The error message is “error: The CUDA driver failed initialization.” Anyone has similar problem?

I run cuda 3.0 on Fedora 10 32bit pc.

Thanks

What is the output of the SDK’s deviceQuery program?

I also have the same problem with BinMU.
The result of my program which is a simple array operating is incorrect!
And the debugger show the same message “error: The CUDA driver failed initialization.”
I really have no idea!

Is my graphic card broken? @@
