No. In this case you'd need new NVidia kernel driver each time kernel's
version changes.
During installation NVidia's kernel module (in compiler's meaning - .o file
provided by NVidia) is linked against a freshly compiled stub adopting it to
running kernel and making kernel module (in kernel's meaning - .ko file).
If you compile kernel and kernel module (.ko) with different compilers, you'll
get 'invalid module format' and modprobe/insmod fails.
Since my gcc upgrade all my modules fail on boot with an error of
version magic '2.6.16-gentoo-r9 SMP gcc-4.1' should be
'2.6.16.16-gentoo-r9 SMP gcc-3.4'
However when I try to start the rebuild of my kernel it stops just after
starting with the line
'if [ -r System.map -a -x /sbin/depmod ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F
System.map 2.6.16-gentoo-r9; fi'
any ideas on the cause?
