Martin, Thanks for replying, I think I'm probably annoying the list too much now.
I may be not even doing this right, so I'll tell you where I am. I'm booted up into kde, via the gentoo kernel, and I'm doing all this stuff in a terminal within kde. [ I had previously compiled a win4lin kernel from the sources and that boots up ok (minus a couple of things like ide-scsi support), but dies when it can't load the NVdriver.] So I'm now correctly linked from win4lin sources > /usr/src/linux: ie: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Mar 16 21:33 linux -> /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-win4lin-r1/ So are you saying that I have to go right through the kernel compile thing again for win4lin ( ie run menuconfig, save this, then do the dep, make clean, maek bzImage, make modules, modules-install etc), before typing: emerge nvidia-kernel?. If so, that could be the problem as I accidently trashed all my sources and had to copy a backup copy I had made prior to trying all this. If so, does the kernel have to be called bzImage cause I had renamed it to remember it was a win4lin one. Does the emerge nvidia-kernel patch the kernel I have compiled previously. If so, its obviously going to fail as it now only is on /boot.
