The NVIDIA kernel module fails to build for the Gentoo kernel patchset versions 2.6.11-r8 and -r9 on my machine. The build gives the following error message: /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/nv.c: In function `nv_agp_init': /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/nv.c:3078: error: `agp_bridges' undeclared (first use in this function) /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/nv.c:3078: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/nv.c:3078: error: for each function it appears in.)

I could imagine that you are facing the same problem as I do with the 7664 ones. I posted my workaround on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php? p=623054#post623054 .
The version 1.0.7664 works.
