My machine is an amd64. I tried to emerge the newer nvidia kernel and got an error(see below). This forum post (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=249989&highlight=nvshutupwarnings+patch) indicates it affects multiple kernel version as that user is using the nitro 2.6.9 and I am using a 2.6.8 kernel. After reading the post I looked for a bug report and did not find one, BUT looking in the media-video/nvidia-kernel/files/1.0.6629/nv-shutup-warnings.patch There is the following comment " # # We rely on these two definitions below; if they aren't set, we set them to " the interesting part is that is the end of the file, which implies something is missing. Looking at the log "no file to patch", I am wondering if this is possibly a path value that is not there?? =============================================================================== ERROR =============================================================================== webrepos ~ # emerge nvidia-kernel -v Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629 to / amd64 >>> Downloading http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64 -1.0-6629-pkg2.run --15:53:20-- http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1 .0-6629-pkg2.run => `/usr/portage/distfiles/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2.run' Resolving gentoo.chem.wisc.edu... 128.104.70.13 Connecting to gentoo.chem.wisc.edu[128.104.70.13]:80... connected.
