I was able to install nvidia-drivers while running gentoo-sources-2.6.27-r4 using the ebuild posted here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246425 |

The arch-x86 (including 64-bit) header files were reorganized in kernel |
| 30 |
2.6.27, and as that says, asm/semaphore.h (or more like asm-x86/ |
| 31 |
semaphore.h) no longer exists in .27. I won't install proprietaryware so |
| 32 |
no nvidia for me and no direct experience with it to help you with, but |
| 33 |
it's likely nVidia hasn't updated to take account of that yet (or if so |
| 34 |
it'd probably be with the newest drivers, which may not even be in |
| 35 |
portage yet let alone stable). |

You did mention switching your running kernel back to 2.6.26.x, which |
| 38 |
should work, but did you switch your kernel symlink back to it as well? |
| 39 |
If not, it's probably still pointing at the 2.6.27.x kernel, thus you'd |
| 40 |
still be getting the error. |
