Description Hermann Huttler 2004-08-17 23:45:29 UTC 
Upgrading from version 1.0.4496-r3 to 1.0.5336-r4 always fails with the error message "nvidia.ko failed to build!" (see below). Kernel module support is enabled. /usr/src/linux points to the kernel version in use.

Comment 1 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-18 04:41:08 UTC 
hmmm *looks very puzzled*

Can you please log the ENTIRE build process and attach it as a plain text file.
Comment 2 Hermann Huttler 2004-08-18 05:07:40 UTC 
Created attachment 37655 [details]
output of emerge

The requested log is in the file attached. Thanks for your quick response.
Comment 3 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-19 17:02:02 UTC 
Why is it trying to compile a whole pile of kernel modules?

Are you certain your kernel source is fully compiled?
Comment 4 Hermann Huttler 2004-08-20 00:21:03 UTC 
Are you certain your kernel source is fully compiled?

Well yes, because I'm running this kernel. However it might be that in the mean time I ran make menuconfig and changed one option or two without reinstalling the  kernel. Therefore I tried:

a) /usr/src/linux> make
followed by an emerge -u world -> same result as before.

b) /usr/src/linux> make clean; make
followed by an emerge -u world -> still the same result as before.
Comment 5 Hermann Huttler 2004-08-20 00:45:14 UTC 
I just upgraded to kernel 2.6.5-mm6 and the upgrade went flawlessly.
Comment 6 Andrew Bevitt 2004-08-20 02:04:02 UTC 
Hmm... 

OK there must be something in 2.6.4-mm1 that caused this, but as its no longer in portage im not going to explore any futher, a newer kernel works so im doubly happy.
