[gentoo-amd64] can not install nvidia driver

[Mansour Al Akeel]

Hello all,
I am trying to install nvidia drivers. I am running amd64 no-multilib. I 
have tried to "make oldconfig && make prepare " but no luck. I was 
running under kernel 2.6.27, then 2.6.26 but couldn't dig any further. 
What could be the issue ? Here is the log file:

The arch-x86 (including 64-bit) header files were reorganized in kernel 
2.6.27, and as that says, asm/semaphore.h (or more like asm-x86/
semaphore.h) no longer exists in .27.  I won't install proprietaryware so 
no nvidia for me and no direct experience with it to help you with, but 
it's likely nVidia hasn't updated to take account of that yet (or if so 
it'd probably be with the newest drivers, which may not even be in 
portage yet let alone stable).

You did mention switching your running kernel back to 2.6.26.x, which 
should work, but did you switch your kernel symlink back to it as well?  
If not, it's probably still pointing at the 2.6.27.x kernel, thus you'd 
still be getting the error.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: can not install nvidia driver

[Mansour Al Akeel]

Duncan, thank you. I recopiled 2.6.26 and it worked. I tried it with 
2.6.26 earlier but it didn't work for some odd reason. Since I create a 
short cut to my recent kernel source, the invidia driver was using that 
short cut when build against 2.6.26. The symlink /usr/src/linux points 
to /usr/src/linux-2.6.27. I don't know why that was happening but it's 
working now.

Thank you.
