When compiling nvidia-kernel 1.0.7167(-r1) with gcc 4.0, the module does not work. There are no compile errors, but when trying to modporbe the module, it says "invalid module format". When compiled with gcc 3.4.3, the module works fine.

Created attachment 53339 [details] The kernel moudles binairy (bzip2'd)
what version of gcc did you build your kernel with ? in other words, what does `cat /proc/version` display ?
That might actually be the problem :) cat /proc/version (~) Linux version 2.6.11-love1 (root@Medusa) (gcc versie 3.4.3 20050110 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3.20050110, ssp-3.4.3.20050110-0, pie-8.7.7)) #1 Sat Mar 5 03:02:50 CET 2005 I'll try recompiling my kernel with GCC 4
sounds good
