Description Ben 2004-03-01 13:37:05 UTC

I've been trying to get nvidia set-up for a 2.6.3-r1 kernel and am getting the following when I try to emerge nvidia-kernel:

The  same error results when I try to emerge unmasked version of nvidia-kernel (1.0.4496-r3) while running the 2.6.3-r1 kernel.  I have unmerged all previous versions of nvidia-kernel on my machine.  I'm still pretty new to linux, any ideas?

Still a problem on latest 2.6?

Comment 2 Ben 2004-04-03 23:03:47 UTC

No - seems to work fine.

OK, let us know if it comes up with newer kernels.
