Does the nvidia-driver really need the kernel for which it will be compiled running? I always compile the new kernel, let module-rebuild do it's job and reboot. Never had problems with this. I think it just needs the kernel sources ready for which it will be compiled. This means emerging kernel sources and have the symlink properly set. To use a new driver when there is no kernel change without a reboot you just need to stop the X-Server unload and load the nvidia driver and start the X-Server again. Regards, Daniel
