Ok, thanks for all your previous help. The problem was as suggested not having a symbolic link to the /usr/src/linux directory (and yes it is in the Docs - perhaps it needs to be triple size for idiots like moi! (plus an example of how to do a symbolic link).
So I totally re-installed the kernel, emerged the nvidia and it works from grub. However, it now can't find the Win4Lin drivers. Can I test if the kernel actually has these drivers like it should have because I compiled from the win4lin sources. Error messages below: Thanks again. I won't be able to continue till tonight, because its AM in Oz now, and I'm off to work.
