kernel wont compile with gcc-1.1.1

[nikster77]

Hi.
A few Weeks ago I updated my System and this put the new gcc-4.1.1 on my System.
A few days later I added new USE-Flags to my make.conf and thought this might be a good time for an "emerge --newuse --deep --update world"...
So I switched to the gcc-4.1.1 compiler (following the howto) because I thought if I'm going to update the whole System I may also do this with a new compiler.
Everything went flawless.
Today I simply wanted to update world which updated my nvidia-drivers and, of course, X didn't come up after a restart nagging about invalid module format for nvidia.ko.
I recompiled my Kernel with gcc-4.1.1 (which is now the standard compiler) but still the same...
I tried to build nvidia-drivers with the Package provided from nvidia on their Site but the installer Script told me that my Kernel was compiled wit gcc-3.4 what is obviously not true as I had just recompiled it 5 Mins ago.

So, the nvidia-module is compiled (as anything else on the System) with gcc-4.1.1 but the Kernel wont in no way recognize the new compiler and always gets compiled with gcc-3.4.

I'm a little bit confused and would be thankful to hear/read any suggestions

Cheers

On gentoo it isn't advised to use the nvidia installer. You could try an emerge nvidia-* over and then hope "eselect opengl" cleans up as best it can. Also remember to "rmmod nvidia" to clean the old module out of ram.

Hi.
Thanks for your fast reply and excuse my english as I didn't make clear that I used the nvidia-installer as last chance.
I was aware that the Problem probably resulted of haveing the Module compiled with a different gcc-version.
But as I had recompiled the Kernel and it didn't work with that Module from gentoo (compiled with 4.1.1) I tried the nvidia-installer.

The Problem is not that X/glx etc. does not work, it works... as I just switched back to gcc-3.4 compiled the module, loaded it and then switched back again to gcc-4.1.1.

The Problem is that everything compiles, more or less, fine with 4.1.1 but when I try to compile the Kernel it "somehow" compiles with 3.4...

Check where your /usr/src/linux link points to. Run "gcc-config -l". Do you manually compile the kernel, or is it genkernel?

[nikster77]

/usr/src/linux points to my kernel-sources /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8, this is the running kernel.

Yes that ist the strange Thing about it...
#gcc-l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
[2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened
[3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopie
[4] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednopiessp
[5] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
[6] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1 *

clearly 4.1.1 is the actual compiler on my System.

Did you reboot using the kernel compiled with gcc-4.1.1? (taking care of the boot-loader as required)

/proc/version should show gcc-4.1.1

[nikster77]

Yes I did.
However, the System works...
