Hi there,
I need your help with a new kernel, namely 2.6.20-rc2-mm1 / 2.6.20-rc2:
everytime I'm trying to insert the nvidia.ko module it says:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.20-rc2-mm1/video/nvidia.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or known parameter (see dmesg)
and dmesg tells me:
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel
nvidia: Unknown symbol _proxy_pda
nvidia: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
nvidia: no version magic, tainting kernel.
nvidia: Unknown symbol _proxy_pda
Thanks in advance for your help
Update:
ok, alright, solved it,
this only affects gcc-4.3.0

just building mm as I post , luckily I took the precaution of switching to 4.1.1 first.
Anything else to note?

thx,
fuse fails to build on '20 , yet more data structure changes , so another round of breaking everything with fs in the name.
I've also noticed that nvidia-drivers does not always need reinstalling between different kernels. I guess it just depends on how similar certain things are. This may be an indirect benefit of modular X but I've never tried to tie it down.

I've managed to patch fuse to get it to work in '20 but I can never work out what the hell to do with diff to get something that emerge can use.
here's the guts of what I produced by renaming the stuff that compiled and diffing against the current source.

I've got fuse installed but I'd like to have it available in overlay and post the pack as a bug report.
Can you tell me the right proceedure to create a patch for portage?
TIA.
