Description Mike Caley 2004-02-08 13:41:16 UTC

When I emerge nvidia-kernel-1.0.4496-r3 the module is put into the path /lib/modules/2.6./.  Obviously this is the wrong place and modprobe can't load the module anymore.  I've tried this on kernel gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.1-2.6.2 and they're the same result.  I believe it's something in the ebuild under the get_KV_info() funtion but I can't be entirely sure (I can't read it well :).

The module works correctly because I can insmod it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-kernel
2. Look in /lib/modules/ for the directory 2.6.

Actual Results:  
The "video" directory that contained the nvidia.o module turned up in the
incorrect path.

Expected Results:  
Found the micro kernel version so that the module could be put in the right place.

Can you sync up and try this again..
