gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r9. From log: nvidia: Unknown symbol _smp_processor_id Not sure what to provide that will assist. Please ask. System is P4 w/HT enabled. /usr/src/linux symlink is correct. Dropped back to 1.0.6629 for now. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/xdm stop 2. emerge -uDv world 3. reboot Actual Results: nvidia module did not load, Said check dmesg when tried modprobe nvidia.
This problem is discussed at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=268416 The current workaround is to edit the line: epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/nv-disable-preempt-on-smp_processor_id-2.patch to: epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}/nv-disable-preempt-on-smp_processor_id.patch
I confirm having the very same issue with the 1.0-6629-r1 ebuild on both 2.6.10-rc3-bk10 and 2.6.10-rc3-bk13, the 1.0-6629 ebuild builds a working module on both kernels.
Already fixed, though. Thanks for your report, but please use the query function in bugzilla before writing up a new bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74950 ***
