The no kernel config error sounds more like you havent done make oldconfig/menuconfig whatever to create the .config file. So maybe the problem is not that you have to be running the kernel you want to build for, but that you have at least created the .config file for the kernel you want to build for.

=A0

I have compiled a kernel for 2.6.37 but I have not booted it yet. =A0I'= ll set the link to the new kernel, emerge nvidia and see what happens when = I boot the new kernel.

In the past, I was on x86 on my old rig. =A0Maybe it is the arch that affec= ts something. =A0I'm not sure but will test later on today. =A0Sort of = in the middle of a download at the moment.


Interested. I *thought* what Dale's s= aying worked too. The no kernel config error sounds more like you havent do= ne make oldconfig/menuconfig whatever to create the .config file. So maybe = the problem is not that you have to be running the kernel you want to build= for, but that you have at least created the .config file for the kernel yo= u want to build for. I'm guessing obviously.
