I use an old Nvidia Quadro FX 3800, which runs with nvidia-drivers-340.x. The last available version in this slot in Portage is 340.120, which doesn't compile with kernel-4.10.x. Last part of the error message: make[2]: *** [/usr/src/linux-4.10.5-gentoo/Makefile:1490: _module_/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102/work/kernel] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.10.5-gentoo' make[1]: *** [Makefile:150: sub-make] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-4.10.5-gentoo' NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make: *** [Makefile:185: nvidia.ko] Error 1 * ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102::gentoo failed (compile phase): * emake failed * * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102::gentoo'`, * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102::gentoo'`. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102/temp/environment'. * Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102/work/kernel' * S: '/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102/work/' * Messages for package x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.102: * Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA * which are limited to the following kernels: * <sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.10 * <sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.10 * * You are free to utilize eapply_user to provide whatever * support you feel is appropriate, but will not receive * support as a result of those changes. * * Do not file a bug report about this. *
Created attachment 468346 [details, diff] Patch to compile x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-340.120 with kernel-4.10 I took this patch: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/994087/linux/387-13-patch-for-4-10-0-rc8-linus-master-/ and removed the stuff, which isn't available in the 340-branch. For me it compiles and runs fine so far. Please check, if it usable for general purpose.
