ok this is the crash:
| Code: |
NVIDIA: left KBUILD.
nvidia.ko failed to build!
make[1]: *** [module] Error 1
make: *** [module] Error 2
*
* ERROR: x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-173.14.09 failed.
* Call stack:
* ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile
* environment, line 3694: Called linux-mod_src_compile
* environment, line 2713: Called die

* The die message:

How sure are you that your kernel is configured correctly? Nvidia-drivers requires some options to be set.
--> http://gentoo-wiki.com/Nvidia#Preparing_Your_System
I think there are more required settings, especially the desktop-specific ones like preemption.
Have you tried booting with the new kernel? X would probably fail to start (because nvidia-drivers was built against an old kernel), but apart from that, you may notice other problems that might point towards a solution.
Also, please paste ~10 more lines before the error. There might be something useful there. |

Are you trying to use a 2.6.27 kernel? If so then it is a known bug #236605, and the workaround is to unmask the latest beta version of nvidia-drivers and nvidia-settings listed in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.
EDIT-- And as zyko says when posting an error you need to go right back to where the first error ocurred in the build.log. Usually quite a few lines back from the final chunk of text you get on the screen when an emerge fails. As you will see, portage tells you where the full build.log resides upon a failed emerge.

well, yeah the kernel is fine(i double checked, but...), or else i wouldnt be having X working right now(in my old kernel).
i believe the problem may be the bug, since yes! i am using .27. ^^
im gonna try unmasking it, thanks. |

thats it for me... all my chips are given  .
it seems to not like my cc flags, so i wonder should i set the 'use' custom-cflags on it?
just for the record:
CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -msse3"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
mine  .
i got a core2duo as you can see.
thanks once again for any kind words given.
edit: another thing is that this was already happening, even when i still had kernel .26.... i in all was only able to install nvidia drivers once, the first time i installed it in my system... |

ok....
how/where/why?
cause all that i found masked in package.mask was the version i used: 177.13...
so if there are no ebuilds, i dont know how to get it from nvidia directly.
do you have a way? |

You should have the file "/usr/portage/x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.70.ebuild". If it does not exist do an emerge --sync
In /etc/portage/package.unmask add the lines | Code: | >x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.0
>media-video/nvidia-settings-177.0
|
Also check the contents of /etc/portage/package.keywords for the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers and media-video/nvidia-settings entries and also /etc/portage/package.mask that they are not masked. |

Yes, thank you indeed. I have a new laptop with the Atheros ar5009 aka 9280 b/g/n card. There are no XP drivers for this so ndiswrapper is out of the question. My only hope is kernel 2.6.27 with the ath9k driver. Now that nvidia works, I'm set!
Thanks again. |
