Yeah, silly me, thinking I could install a kernel and build the same
friggin Nvidia driver that I have built 20x before without having to
visit a Linux forum !

Well buddy, I've been running Linux only since Redhat 8. Servers and
workstations.

There was nothing to check, other than I needed to build an nvidia
driver. Again. The old kernel ran all my hardware, should I expect
that the new one won't ? And btw, are there hardware release notes that
I am supposed to read or should I start going through the kernel
source ?

When will you guys start to understand that there is NO ISSUE with my
new kernel ! Nvidia built better for this kernel than it did for the
stock fc6 2798 kernel, where we HAD TO EDIT SOURCE CODE TO GET IT TO
BUILD. Oh, that was a one time thing ? Sure...
LET ME SAY THIS: IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO BUILD A DRIVER ! Too
many things can and do go wrong !
