It's more than that. Rebuilding the kernel, loosing fb and ovz, etc. |

I prefer spending that amount of time on disassambling the binary |
| 14 |
module ... ;-o |

The problem comes from NV's (broken) package. Their "sanity" |
| 23 |
checks seem to go against the *running* kernel, instead the one |
| 24 |
to build for. So, in my case, it denies compiling, as the |
| 25 |
currently running kernel has rivafb (but the target kernel won't). |
