Description Vladimir Zubko 2008-09-27 23:40:40 UTC 
nvidia-drivers can be established only when such conditions:
make menuconfig && make && make modules_install && make install
vim /usr/src/linux/.config
need mask # CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y
except # CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST is not set

Reproducible: Always

You will need to provide a lot more specific information before this bug report starts making any sense. I can install specific version of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers just fine here, so it's entirely unclear why you cannot.

Problem has been Kernels configuration:
It was:
Subarchitecture Type - Support ScaleMP vSMP

Need:
Subarchitecture Type - PC-compatible

Since then, drivers are installed perfectly.
Please add into ebuild:

eerror "Please enable MTRR support in your kernel config, found at:"
eerror
eerror "  Processor type and features"
eerror "    [*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support"
eerror "    Subarchitecture Type - PC-compatible"
eerror
eerror "and recompile your kernel ..."
