The no kernel config error sounds more like you havent done make
oldconfig/menuconfig whatever to create the .config file.

In fact that isn't it. I've copied the .config from /boot, run make
oldconfig, compiled the kernel and copied it to /boot. Still nvidia-
drivers won't compile, apparently because /usr/src/linux points to a
kernel other than the running one.


I haven't rebooted yet but I did point the symlink to the new kernel.
I can emerge nvidia here with no problems.  It noticed it was pointing
to the new kernel and installed them correctly.  I'll reboot here in a
bit and see what happens.

Getting back to the original, I tried with 2.6.37 and it didn't work
either, but my 2.6.30 works fine with the same drivers.


I'm using nvidia-drivers-260.19.29 on kernel 2.6.37-gentoo and it is working fine so far. It booted and X is working.

Could there be something amiss in the kernel config? I ran into problems a while back. It was missing the option CONFIG_SYSVIPC in the kernel. You got that built in?
