1 Hi Alexandre,
2
3 thanks for your reply! :)

5 Both kernels were compiled the same way prior to emergeing the
6 nvidia-drivers. In both cases the symlink /usr/src/linux points to
7 the correct kernel sources...
8 I also to booted into the kernel for which I want to emerge the
9 drivers which doesnt make a difference...
10
11 What else may be the reason for that?
