I see several similar bugs, but none that appear to be duplicates (different errors, different modules or nvidia-driver versions). Sorry if it's duplicate. Thank you. -------------- External module rebuild failing, following upgrade from gentoo-sources-2.6.22 to 2.6.23-r3 Old nvidia card (TNT2 / TNT2 Pro M64) requires nvidia-drivers-1.0.7185. Using package.mask entry: '>=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8700' per docs. Build fails under 2.6.23; succeeds under 2.6.22. Note: current version from Nvidia website is 1.0. Re: related bugs; disabling sandbox or ccache has no effect; errors appear dissimilar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot using gentoo-sources-2.6.23-3 2./etc/package.mask entry: >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8700 3.emerge gentoo-sources Actual Results: Entire log provided because it's brief.
