Has anyone been able to build the latest stable NVIDIA driver in the last couple kernel updates on Core6 pre?  Everything was working great until kernel-2.6.18-1.2741 I believe.  I tried upgrading to kernel-2.6.18-1.2747 and am having the same problem.  Below is the error in the nvidia-installer.log file I am seeing.

   /nv/nv.c:14:
   include/asm/io.h: In function ‘check_signature’:
   include/asm/io.h:245: warning: wrong type argument to increment
   make[4]: *** [/tmp/selfgz3357/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-8774-pkg1/usr/src/nv/nv.o
   ] Error 1

   nvidia.ko failed to build!
   make[1]: *** [mdl] Error 1
   make: *** [module] Error 2
-> Error.
ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module.
ERROR: Installation has failed.  Please see the file
       '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details.  You may find suggestions
       on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux
       driver download page at www.nvidia.com.


Thanks,
Ian
