OK thanks, the kernel works fine, including modutils.

Actually it seems I had a buggy patch, so I vi-ed the C and played diff
for a while and it fixed what I mentioned below , but it uncovered a
truckload of other C errors, so I guess I'll just wait for a patch from
nvidia, because it seems that kernel 2.4 does not behave like they
thought it would....

Thanks anyway
Romain
