OK, I've asked a couple of the learned Gentoolmen within CLug this, but they were a little distracted at the time.
Here's my problem, I've got Gentoo installed quite happily with only one problem. I can't install the nvidia drivers. bash-2.05b# emerge nvidia-kernel Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r2 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4363.tar.gz * This version needs MTRR support for most chipsets! * Please enable MTRR support in your kernel config, found at: * * Processor type and features -> [*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support * * and recompile your kernel ... !!! ERROR: media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4363-r2 failed. !!! Function pkg_setup, Line 39, Exitcode 0 !!! MTRR support not detected! Fair enough, I didn't have MTRR support compiled into my kernel initally. However I've recompiled, and recompiled and recompiled (largely to get my sound card going) with MTRR enabled but still the error persists. Looking into the install script it checks for /proc/mtrr and dies when it fails to find this. Any ideas? Also I should add I'm using the pfeiffer-sources if that's of any consequence. ------------------------------------------------- Hamish McBrearty MCSE MCSA Network Engineer Rangi Ruru Girls' School 59 Hewitts Road Christchurch NEW ZEALAND Ph 03 355-6099 Fax 03 355-6027 CELL 021 999770 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------
