Ok, so I just did a fresh install of 2007.0. I used the same method as before (networkless install and then configured sources from kernel.org), to get my system running again. It crashes far less often, but still has a little trouble with compiling linux sources (that was while using the livecd kernel). However, I'm writing you from the machine in question, so that's a good sign. I'll mess with it and emerge some stuff, try 2.6.20 vanilla-sources and let you know how it goes. I'm also going to try the Linux drivers from the nvidia website. While I trust Gentoo, I'm sure NVidia is more up to date. I don't think I enabled the in-kernel nvidia drivers, so I should be fine.

I even tried to update udev rules, moving the "nvidia*" rule to "nvidia", so that it would only load the private firmware, but in vain. > > Florent > From the guide; *Important: * For x86 and AMD64 processors, the in-kernel driver conflicts with the binary driver provided by nVidia. If you will be compiling your kernel for these CPUs, you must completely remove support for the in-kernel driver as shown: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nvidia-guide.xml -- Powered by Gentoo/Linux -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
