Hi,
I have similar problem like not long time ago with kernel 3.7.6.
[SOLVED] nvidia-drivers-313.18 failed with kernel 3.7.6
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-950612.html
This time, this sollution did not help:

you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel

I added a patch and updated the ebuild to include it.
Basically just needed :

Just download and move the patch to /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. |

Outstanding. Had no idea portage was so clever. 
Thanks! |

Sorry for my noob question:
My system works perfectly with gentoo kernel 3.5.9 and nvidia-drivers-304.64.
Updating, kernel 3.7.9 came in.
The new kernel works, but X complain about nvidia module.
module-rebuild tried to rebuild nvidia-drivers-304.64, but it was impossible for me to make it work, because the driver "cannot detrmine the kernel version". I tried the patches for a while, then I realize these are for newer version of nvidia driver.
Do you think it's better for me to unmask newer version of nvidia or wait it to be stable?
Or is there any magical way to use the old module with the new kernel, or some miracle-patch to apply to 304.64 to build it?
Consider that my old PC (Celeron 2.8GHz) has:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS] (rev a1)
Thanks. |

| You have a Geforce 7, so you can't use drivers newer than 304.64. Your only options are either patch the driver, or use an older kernel. Well, there's a third option - Nvidia releases a new version of the 304.xx branch. I have a feeling Nvidia will be releasing new versions for all their branches soon, but since Nvidia never provides any plans, there's no way to tell when exactly "soon" is |

Thanks Gusar.
There's no reason for me to run ahead new releases. But I learned to avoid my system to be too old.
Just to know, where I can find information about compatibility of nvidia-drivers version and kernels and compatible hardware?
Maybe the.root can give me some tip to make a good patch. The problem is about new /include/uapi folder in the kernel.
Adapting the pacth you gave for 313.18 leads to a missing asm-generic/types.h in include/asm/types.h or something like that.
However, I'm in a good situation to experiment at the moment. |

Hardware compatibility is very simple: 173.xx for Geforce FX 5, 304.xx for Geforce 6/7, newer versions for Geforce 8 and up.
Kernel compatibility is not so simple. There's no fixed point of info, things change dynamically. When problems arise, people post about them on distro forums, and at the nvidia forum: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/98/linux/. So when you hit problems, you search the forums. Sometimes you'll find patches, sometimes you'll be told to stay with an older kernel for the time being. That's pretty much that.
New driver releases are announced here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/board/99/unix-graphics-announcements-and-news/ |

I was also hit by the "Unable to determine the target kernel version" problem when I tried to update the kernel from 3.6.11 to the now stable 3.7.9.
My system is using an NVIDIA GeForce GT 530 (HP OEM, 14 month old), how do I know whether this a Geforce 5, 6, 7, 8 or up? I'm currently using nvidia-drivers-304.64, higher versions are marked as unstable here that's why I'm not using them.
I also found bug 447566 but it seems at the moment there's only an official patch for the latest unstable version of the driver (313.18). Just wondering that 3.7.9 was moved to the stable tree knowing that probably a lot of people using NVIDIA graphic cards will run into problems. Or is my 14 month old HP system already too old for current kernels?
For now I've switched back to kernel 3.6.11 and masked kernels 3.7.0 and above.
Regards,
Oliver |

Wikipedia knows everything: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_series#Generations. Well, probably not everything , but that list is very nice.

Look more closely, there's patches for 304.64 too in that bug. Or you use the links to the Arch patches I gave above. But since your 530 is "up", you can use 313.18 |

There are indeed tons of reasons for questioning the stabilization of the 3.7.9, regressions with USB, deblobbing broken... but... the NVIDIA problem is not a valid one.
Kernel is first. It's stabilization must not be submitted to the availability of whatever driver, even less with the availability of a proprietary driver. You get in kernel the code needed for driving your Nvidia and this one builds and works with no known regression compared to last stable kernel release !

Yes, I checked Wikipedia few minutes after my post and found that the 530 belongs to "up".

I saw that patch, but while 313.18 already received an "offical" patch (in portage) 304.64 is still broken when using the stable kernel. I think I will try nvidia-driver-313.18 next, but this has to wait until sunday.

I don't question the stabilization of kernel 3.7.9, but it would be nice to get a warning that this kernel will not work with the stable Nvidia driver. This could save a lot of people time and frustration.
Ok, I found a simple fix, just add ">=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7.0" to /etc/portage/package.mask and everything is fine again. |

And what's the reason of not applying a patch for nvidia-drivers so it can compile with the lastest stable version of the kernel, a patch that has been around in bugzilla december?

This is another good question!
I believe you'll find its answer in Doug Goldstein's comment #2 ("We support what NVIDIA supports")

Well, it's a stupid policy, if you ask me. It may be OK in most of the cases, but when a conflict appears like in this case, a conflict that in the better case is a nuisance, and in the worst a non-working system for a inexperienced user, sticking to that without any sign of adaptability is stubborn and childish.

the.roots patch worked for me
Just drop it into /etc/portage/patches/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-313.18/kernel-3.8.0.patch and portage does the rest.
