I updated recently to 2.6.23-gentoo and wanted to re-generate ati-drivers 8.40.4, which DID install with the kernel 2.6.22-r6 I used previously. emerge reported: LD [M] /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.40.4/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.ko make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo' * Building fgl_glxgears * Building fglrx_gamma lib * Building fglrx_gamma util >>> Source compiled. --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-x11-drivers_-_ati-drivers-8.40.4-24289.log" open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo/null.gcda open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo/null.gcda open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo/null.gcda open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo/null.gcda open_wr: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo/null.gcda Drivers 8.39.4 had the same problem, so probably it has something to do with the kernel update.
