I have replied to this person personally a when this thread started with what I
think is the fix to his problem. I have seen this error on my machine before.
The problem arose when I compiled the running kernel with gcc-3.0. At first I
thought it was just gcc-3 breaking the kernel. Then I realized that the nvidia
modules use `cc` to compile. The symlink to cc was gcc-2.95. Changing the
symlink to gcc-3.0 made the problem go away.
