From what I can gather from this http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46676#post553970 post the nvidia-kernel needs a patch for it to work with the 2.6.11 kernel. The nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r3 should according to the changelog entry http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/media-video/nvidia-kernel/ChangeLog have this patch, but the version is not stable. So we will have to wait for it to become stable or risk an unstable system.....
Sorry I meant that the nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 should work, not the nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r3 (which is non-exitent).
*** Bug 86130 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This prevents me using kernel 2.6.11, since nvidia-kernel later than 6629 (including the unstable 7167) does not work with my on-board GeForce2. Motherboard is Asus A7N-266/VM. See Bug 85379.

I was getting the same sort of error, but now I have a workaround! I was able to get my nvidia-kernel to compile with the 2.6.11-r4 kernel by disabling the CONFIG_AGP option in the kernel (Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> /dev/agpgart (AGP support) ) I don't know what that breaks, but I have X running right now.
I had the same bug with development-sources-2.6.12-rc1 ..I was using 1.0.6629 (and not 1.0.7167) due to instabilities in other opengl applications (strangely the errors only happen on the quadro4 + what used to be 2.6.10 machine then I did a 2.6.12-r1 upgrade due to ieee1394b instabilities). 1.0.7167 seemed to compile with 2.6.12-rc1 just fine. I'm gonna try running the application and see if it is fixed with the new kernel.
nope 1.0.7167 has opengl problems i recommend not using it ..tested with pymol and vmd and they crash instantly
btw 1.0.7167 does compile on 2.6.10 kernel ..i just wouldn't recommend using it with quadros
I tried removing agpgart from the kernel .config completely like someone above said and 1.0.6629 did compile for 2.6.12-rc1 but when you do modprobe nvidia you get this error: /root# modprobe nvidia FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.12-rc1/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg: nvidia: Unknown symbol inter_module_get ..yes i did recompile both nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel when downgrading ..i think i'm going back to a 2.6.10 + 1.0.6629

With development-source you should use imho the testing nvidia-kernel/glx.
btw: i got these warnings when going back to/compiling 2.6.10-gentoo-r6: kernel/intermodule.c:179: warning: `inter_module_register' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:38) kernel/intermodule.c:180: warning: `inter_module_unregister' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:79) kernel/intermodule.c:183: warning: `inter_module_put' is deprecated (declared at kernel/intermodule.c:160) ..it seems that this has been completely removed from later 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels and is causing the problem I posted just above this post.
Ya, a bunch of inter_module stuff has been deprecated...this issue occurs in ATI drivers as well. You can actually find the missing inter_module_get in intermodule.c and allow drivers to use it still by manually editing the file (and removing the static keyword and telling it to export if I remember correctly), but on my system I just hang when the driver tries starting. The respective companies must fix this. As far as .11 goes, I find that on some machines the only way to get the driver to work (ATI, but nVidia would have similar problems) was to use the kernel AGP driver, but obviously this is causing a few problems. Unfortunately the kernel seems to be changing faster than the driver writers.

I ran into the exact same problem as the original poster. I decided to try version 1.0.7174 The package emerged without error, I then ran opengl-update, env-update, modprobe nvidia, but I get this error whenever I try to start X: Error: API mismatch: The NVIDIA kernel module is version 0.7174.0, but this X module is version 1.0.6629. Please be sure that your kernel module and all NVIDIA driver files have the same driver version. Can anyone offer assistance on how to fix this problem? Thank you
SOrry to reply to my own bug report, but installing nvidia-glx-1.0.7174 fixed my problem.
> SOrry to reply to my own bug report, but installing nvidia-glx-1.0.7174 fixed > my problem. You must install the same version of nvidia-{driver,glx}
The nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 compiles and works with the 2.6.11-r5 kernel. http://packagestest.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 http://packagestest.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r5 The bugstatus should be changed to FIXED.
Before closing this bug, could someone take care of us AMD64 users? nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 isn't stable for this architecture, so the problem persists on AMD64.
> Before closing this bug, could someone take care of us AMD64 users? > nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 isn't stable for this architecture, so the > problem persists on AMD64. I think you should make a new bug report for AMD64. Today, I compiled nvidia-{kernel,glx}-1.0.6629-r4 on gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r5 successfully and it functions very well (on a x86)
*** Bug 97654 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Although this isn't a perminant fix I know on my amd64 box nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 was running just fine until portage tried to downgrade me to nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r1 and masked r4 with -* (even though its now listed as stable). So I just added =media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.6629-r4 package.use and reinstalled just to make sure it worked, which it does.
The newer nvidia-kernel releases work with the newer kernels.
