Hi all,

I just finished doing emerge -e world i my ~x86 gentoo box.
And i updated /etc correctly (i think), so i reboot, and nvidia module doesn't load.

I had removed /lib/modules/mykernel/video/* and reintaled nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx and do opengl-update nvidia

But problem persist

This is the error:

Do you have loadable modules enabled in the kernel?

Yes, i have it. So, the others modules loads. Only nvidia doesn't want to be loaded....

mmmm, this is bad....

i have installed nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx 1.0.6629 and i have the same problem!

So, i think the problem isn't in nvidia drivers, but where???

I'm lost

I had a similar problem, I reemerged nvidia-kernel and it told me don't enable rivafb in kernel.
I recompiled the kernel without rivafb support, reemerged nvidia-kernel (1.0.7174) and modprobe nvidia worked!

Solved!

The problem was similar to yours, andrewf.

I saw in F12 terminal anything about gcc 3.4 that may been gcc 3.3. The problem seems that yesterday i changed gcc to 3.4. So i had recompiled the kernel and now works

Thanks.

Moved from Kernel & Hardware to Duplicate Threads in favour of 'modprobe nvidia' fails.
