[gentoo-user] nvidia-drivers with tuxonice-sources 2.6.31

["Stefan G. Weichinger" <lists@xunil.at>]

Greets,

I don't get it:

I was running tuxonice-sources-2.6.31 (amd64) for a while now and had
unmasked nvidia-drivers at kernel-change to get nvidia-drivers-190.36
back then. That worked fine so far.

At that time I had gcc-4.4.1, btw.

2 days ago I did some changes, got gcc-4.4.2 and also new
nvidia-drivers-190.40. The drivers compiled but didn't load, dmesg said:

nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

hmm

Tried some things then decided to go back to 190.36 ... but they don't
load as well. Yes, I removed the module (modprobe -r) before trying to
load the new one ...

I even tried to downgrade gcc again to get back to the gcc/nvidia-combo
that had worked before. No success.

Now I have a workstation without X and it's monday ;)

*sigh*

Any ideas? What do I miss here??

talks about mtrr, I have 8 GB in that machine and some "uncachable"
lines in that output, but it has worked before and I don't have an
according BIOS-entry.

I assume that's not the issue here ....

Thanks a lot, Stefan
