Does nvidia-drivers-100.14.23 work? If not, this is an issue we cannot fix. Nvidia is interested selling graphics cards. Maintaining their "legacy" drivers does not seem to be a high priority.
No. emerge of nvidia-drivers-100.14.23 fails too.

I've read on now 3 different forums where people using Gentoo and AMD64 had to re-install glibc. The thing is, I just re-emerged it yesterday as a preventive measure. I kept reading that GCC 4.3 was the reason cdrdao wouldn't compile, but I 'm using 4.1.3 and it wouldn't compile for me either. I had to manually switch to 1.2.2r2 just to compile K3B. I guess I'll just keep googling and keep re-emerging my build system until I find out what's causing the problem
I rebuild my system with emerge -e system and rebuild my kernel with genkernel all but nvidia-drivers fails again.
I just did a clean install of 2008.0 final. This time I used the minimal cd install method to avoid the problems of the LiveCD. ati-drivers still fail with the same message.
Actually, the msg is different: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3 to / * ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...

I tried today to find a solution for my problem. And i have found a patch in the nvidia forum. Here is the Link: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=112452 I use the NVIDIA-x86_64-100.14.19-kernel-2.6.25-compat.diff.txt patch Now I can compile the ebuild after patching the working directory. It seems to work now. I will give it a try and test it a few days. Perhaps somebody can include the patch in an ebuild update
This bug was originally about nvidia-drivers not working with 2.6.25. NVIDIA released the 169.x series which worked with this kernel version, that version has a stable version and there are even newer versions for 2.6.26. So this bug is effectively fixed.
