Enabling NVAGP and disabling GART_IOMMU?

Hey,

I cannot for the life of me get nvidia-graphics8762(-kmdl) from  
atrpms working with the x86_64 2.6.16-1.2115_FC4 kernel from fedora- 
updates, or any other relevant x86_64 kernel combo for that matter.

Here's what happens with nvidia-graphics8762 and 2.6.16-1.2115_FC4:

# tail /var/log/messages
Jun 14 23:42:26 benlancaster kernel: NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel  
was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!!

If I "make menuconfig" in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.16-1.2115_FC4, disable  
GART_IOMMU in
"Processor type and features" and then enable /dev/agpgart in
Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> "/dev/agpgart (AGP Support)"  
and "AMD Opteron/Athlon64 on-CPU GART support"

... then save and exit, "make" then fails:

# make
   CHK     include/linux/version.h
   SPLIT   include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/*
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/ 
built-in.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [init] Error 2

I have to confess, I'm not entirely sure I know what I'm doing, so if  
anyone can aid me in getting this all working, I'd be eternally  
grateful!

Ben
