The patch in the nvnews thread in the url fixes the following problem compiling nvidia-kernel against 2.6.17-rc4-mm1: In file included from /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c:15: /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv-linux.h:711: error: conflicting types for pm_message_t include/linux/pm.h:142: error: previous declaration of pm_message_t was here /var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.c:307: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[3]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8756-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.o] Error 1 forum thread at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=3325279 Unsupported kernel... http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml#doc_chap3 For me the mm are the only kernels on which my ide/sata works good (via sata together with via pata all under scsi) so OK it's not a supported kernel, but it could be cool to have a patch for it :-) The one that could be found under the nv forum don't works for me... In this link the second topic gives the patch for >=2.6.17-rc4-mm1 and Linux >=2.6.17-git7.
