Description Matthew Schultz 2006-10-21 16:32:56 UTC
After emerging nvidia-legacy-drivers-1.0.7184 using gentoo-sources kernel 2.6.18-r1 on the AMD64 arch, I cannot start X or modprobe the nvidia kernel.  It says it's not found. If I boot back into 2.6.17-r8, I can start X and load the nvidia module after reemerging the nvidia legacy drivers.   

Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/amd64/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-gentoo-r1 x86_64)

Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-10-21 23:15:14 UTC
Post the output of ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.18-gentoo-r1/video and reopen then.
Comment 2 Matthew Schultz 2006-10-22 09:11:59 UTC
I'm stupid.  I forgot to update the linux symbolic link before reemerging the nvidia legacy driver.  Marking closed.
