Description imbacil 2004-06-05 08:58:32 UTC 
Upgraded to baselayout-1.9.4 yesterday. When booting today xorg refused to start due to the following error:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888
(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NoLogo" "1"
(--) NVIDIA(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xFA000000
(--) NVIDIA(0): MMIO registers at 0xFD000000
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!

Re-emerging nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx did not help.

This is what I'm using
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r3
media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r2
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0
development-sources-2.6.6

Solution:
Downgrade to baselayout-1.8.12

Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-05 10:57:42 UTC 
how about 1.9.4-r1 that was just released into stable this morning?
Comment 3 Tony Vroon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-06-05 11:03:58 UTC 
You can overcome this by issuing:

modprobe nvidia
NVmakedevices.sh

As root, then log in as your normal user and start X.
You can try this if the new baselayout doesn't fix it for you.
