The arch-x86 (including 64-bit) header files were reorganized in kernel |
| 13 |
2.6.27, and as that says, asm/semaphore.h (or more like asm-x86/ |
| 14 |
semaphore.h) no longer exists in .27. I won't install proprietaryware so |
| 15 |
no nvidia for me and no direct experience with it to help you with, but |
| 16 |
it's likely nVidia hasn't updated to take account of that yet (or if so |
| 17 |
it'd probably be with the newest drivers, which may not even be in |
| 18 |
portage yet let alone stable). |

You did mention switching your running kernel back to 2.6.26.x, which |
| 21 |
should work, but did you switch your kernel symlink back to it as well? |
| 22 |
If not, it's probably still pointing at the 2.6.27.x kernel, thus you'd |
| 23 |
still be getting the error. |
