Had the exact same error after upgrading to gentoo-sources-2.6.11. The fix (upgrading to nvidia-kernel-6629-r4) is also proposed in the forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-2256501.html#2256501) and works for me too. Please fix this ASAP, because the the latest stable gentoo-sources is now incompatible with the latest stable version of nvidia-kernel. we have now gone to kernel 2.6.11-r3 as a default, so we should now upgrade from the old nvidia kernel 6629 to the latest 7167 kernel. I emerged it on my amd64 machine, and it works just fine, whereas 6629 dies. /iaw -r5 is the stable amd64 driver -r5 is the latest stable nvidia-glx, but please notice that we're having issues with the kernel modules (nvidia-kernel) not the X drivers and the latest stable nvidia-kernel is 1.0.6629-r1. Original submitter: please reopen this bug, because nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx are indeed entirely different packages. The problem is not solved! I have re-opened this bug as it has been verified by many others in this bug thread. The problem is not fixed and is very easy to fix. Make at least nvidia-kernel 6629-r4 stable for amd64. I do not know of a reason this can't occur because it currently does not compile at all (6629-r1), so having it marked stable is ridiculous. Note that this seems to be kernel 2.6.11 specific, I am running kernel 2.6.11-r4. And as noted before this is: nvidia-kernel NOT nvidia-glx. version bumped as requested. |
