I've been using nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676 and nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1 since
I upgraded the kernel to gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1, some time ago. It
works without problems. I emerged these versions (~x86) because the
normal ones wouldn't work.
$ cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
$ cat /etc/portage/package.mask
>media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7676
>media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7676-r1
Today I emerge sync'ed and "emerge -pNDu world" says, among other
unrelated things:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667 [1.0.7676]
[ebuild UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7667-r1 [1.0.7676-r1]
Now, what can this mean, given the contents of package.keywords and
package.mask?
Moreover, 1.0.7676 is supposed to address several bugs in 1.0.7667
(according to a NVIDIA developer, in another list).
I tried emerging nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667, just to see what gives, and:
* Determining the location of the kernel source code
* Found kernel source directory:
* /usr/src/linux
* Found sources for kernel version:
* 2.6.15-gentoo-r1
* These sources have not yet been prepared.
* We cannot build against an unprepared tree.
* To resolve this, please type the following:
*
* # cd /usr/src/linux
* # make oldconfig
* # make modules_prepare
*
* Then please try merging this module again.
!!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7667 failed.
!!! Function check_kernel_built, Line 363, Exitcode 0
!!! Kernel sources need compiling first
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status
message.
