If kernel is compiled with gcc 3.3.x and nvidia-kernel with 3.4.x, module can't be load So maybe the ebuild make check that and then stop emerging and tell the user to change currently running gcc version with gcc-config dmesg tell me that : nvidia: version magic '2.6.11-gentoo-r3 preempt K7 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.11-gentoo-r3 preempt K7 gcc-3.3' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uva nvidia-kernel 2. modprobe nvidia 3.

maybe a warning should be added but causing the emerge to abort is wrong you can emerge modules for kernels other than the one you're actively using, so comparing the built module against the active kernel is incorrect
Well, like Mike said - we cannot abort, as you might be compiling for a new kernel, and im thinking that you did already get a warning mesg in dmesg, so no real need to clutter the ebuild 8)
that about sums it up then
