 *   nvidia missing in FILESDIR
   
Can anyone tell what happened?
   
   You probably copied the ebuild, but not the contents of the files/
   subdirectory. It probably needs some patch that lived there. So you
   need to copy that directory along with its contents to the same place
   you copied the old ebuild.
 
  That was it, thank you.
 
  Actually, it compiles and installs when /usr/src/linux points to
  2.6.20-hardened-r6 but fails to compile when it points to
  linux-2.6.23-hardened-r4.  The error instructs me as follows:
 
  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.
  include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.
  Run 'make oldconfig  make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.
 
  Which I did with the same results.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

 ISTR that make prepare isn't sufficient.  You have to do a
 make.  IIRC, you can kill it once it starts compiling real
 code.

I can't keep up with the acronyms but I did a full make and I still
get the same error.  Should I be booted into the same kernel that
/usr/src/linux points to when compiling nvidia-modules?

 I seem to recall. :)

 I didn't think that was required, but that's probably how I've
 always done it, so it's worth a shot.

   

I have tried it with it pointing to the wrong kernel, sometimes it
works, sometimes not.  Best to point it to the right one I guess.

Same result unfortunately.  Is it possible that this version of
nvidia-drivers isn't compatible with 2.6.23?

Strange though.  Here's the error:

include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.

but both of those files clearly exist.
