Trying to start X resulted in "Unable to initialize kernel module" messages. Yet it was working in a 2.4.23 kernel on the same machine. I finally realized that the only major difference between the two kernels was that I had not enabled /devfs in 2.6.2 because it is obsolete. I recompiled with it enabled and it worked as well as with the 2.4.23 kernel. -- Enable /devfs for 2.6.2 kernels and nvidia. I am not using devfs with my 2.6.2 kernel using nvidia.
