I can't get this to work on development kernels after 2.5.59. The patch for 2.5.54+ has never worked for me (made my own modifications). And the new patch for 2.5.60+ (even though it applies ok) doesn't work either. I've talked to Christian Zander, he who maintains the minion.de/nvidia.html, and he says: "modversions.h is now modsetver.h, the #include statement in nv-linux.h needs to be adjusted to reflect this change." This wasn't what the 2.5.61 patch reflected, but even with this change in the patch, it doesn't compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. You know the drill... Actual Results: Compilation failure. Expected Results: Compilation success.

Hmm... it works with sys-kernel/development-sources, but not if I download it myself.
Did you add the /usr/src/linux symlink ? Also, did you already compiled it, and not made a make clean ? It need to have the dep and version info in it... I think a 'make menuconfig' and then 'make dep' should be sufficient.
Reopen if you are sure your source tree in /usr/src is ok. Check maybe in #gentoo on irc if you not sure how we handle kernel stuff.
Hehe.. well. All (I'm aware of) that I did was: << tar xjvf linux-2.5.XX.tar.bz2 << cp /usr/src/linux/.config linux-2.5.XX << cd linux-2.5.XX << make oldconfig << make dep >> *** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now. << make bzImage modules modules_install << ln -sf /usr/src/linux-2.5.XX /usr/src/linux << reboot << emerge nvidia-kernel
