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.
