Just something i found out yesterday:

When you are running glibc compiled with nptl and compiled your kernel without nptl support in glibc it says "Invalid module format" which means that your kernel is compiled with a glibc without nptl and your module with a glibc with nptl (or other way around).

Way to solve this:

Code:
1) set your USE either to "nptl nptlonly" or "-nptl -nptlonly"
2) compile your glibc ( only if it's with glibc and you want it without or the other way around) [optional if you want to leave your glibc as it is]
3) recompile your kernel (don't need to change any settings)
3) install your kernel (dolilo, or use grub,... or whatever bootloader)
4) reboot
5) emerge nvidia-kernel
6) modprobe nvidia
7) start X
8) play UT2003 :D (or whatever game you like :) )


Hope this helps someone.
