After updating kernel, nvnet & fglrx fail

[strumbum]

Hello all!

I have been the proud owner of a gentoo box since 2.6.3 came out. I decided I would update to the latest. I did the 'make oldconfig' and checked using the 'make menuconfig' and everything looked fine. Once I compiled the kernel I added it to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and rebooted.

I selected the new kernel and the fglrx & nvnet modules failed to load. Ok, they worked before? So I rebooted into my 2.6.3 kernel and everything came up fine.

Is there something I need to check or redo? If you need more info I can provide it. I am thinking I need to remerge the modules?

The only change I made the the .config was adding SCSI emulation and adding the USB 2.0 support.

Any help would be appreciated! TIA!

yes you need to remerge the modules, everytime you update/change your kernel you need to recompile your modules as well. You also might want to give the forcedeth driver a shot for your onboard NIC, it's in the kernel under the NIC drivers section.

Are you refering to the reverse engineered nForce net driver?

EDIT: The reverse engineered driver worked!
