Get Sandbox ACCESS VIOLATION when I try to emerge nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1 for kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r7. For older Kernels it can be emerged ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge nvidia-drivers 2. 3. Actual Results: ld -r -o /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nvidia.ko /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nvidia.o /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1/work/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9755-pkg2/usr/src/nv/nvidia.mod.o NVIDIA: left KBUILD. >>> Source compiled. --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-x11-drivers_-_nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1-9887.log" open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r7/-.gcda Due too I have an (Asus) nVidia Geforce 7800 GT I must use the nVidia driver, because a system without the driver will destroy my graphic card. Only the nVidia driver uses the fancontrol. Without this driver my fan is everytime running on 100%, loud and will become broken shortly. So this driver is a system feature. Have to stay away from kernel 2.6.20 for my nVidia HW, kernel is unusable (unstable) without. Possibly this new ebuild http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=175674 will work for me. I will give it a try, and if it does not work I have to get the driver direct from nVidia (run-script). I will not open an new bug only mention here, that the older driver nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1 did show everytime this notice at beginning, even if its compiles fine or not: ake[2]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule. test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \ echo; \ echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing."; \ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo; \ /bin/false) -------------------- make oldconfig && make prepare I did do, but did not change message. Whatever, because it did build nVidia kernels its not so important here.
