 |

I tried to install the nvidia drivers with "emerge nvidia-drivers". The first package installed fine, but the second one comes up with an error message:
| Code: |
localhost ~ # emerge nvidia-drivers

What should I do?

Usually the .config file it's looking for is generated by the "make menuconfig" step in installing your kernel.
What does "ls /usr/src/linux* /usr/src/linux*/.config -ld" output? |

| Code: |
localhost ~ # ls /usr/src/linux* /usr/src/linux*/.config -ld
ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux*/.config: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 27 18:51 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Feb 27 18:51 /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5
|
is the output of " ls /usr/src/linux* /usr/src/linux*/.config -ld" . |

You should be able to generate a new .config by doing:
| Code: | zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/linux/.config
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig |

| Are you using the genkernel methode or the make menuconfig methode ? |
