ok. this is very odd. i'm now running r197301. i was running this revision for a week or so and had no problems with the nvidia driver whatsoever but the problem also exists when running this revision. so it doesn't seem to be a kernel problem. i've also re-installed world! i also noticed that other modules in /boot/modules don't work any longer. the virtual box driver e.g. loads, but when trying to run a virtual disk vbox cannot find the kernel module. the cause for this problem might be some data corruption because i was running mplayer under X with the nvidia driver working normally. then suddenly the machine froze. after ~ 2 minutes it automaticcal rebooted. no core dump was produced though. after the reboot the problem first appeared. i checked all my harddrives with fsck which revealed no problems. doing `svn --no-ignore in /usr/src` revealed no problems. cheers. alex
