Thanks for the reply. I guess gcc-4.0 is the one that doesn't work for me. Where is this kernel-2.6.14? I guess it's not in the testing repository. I currently run a home-built 2.6.8, but to compile it I had to revert to gcc-3.3. As far as the NVIDIA driver, it won't compile with gcc-4.0 either. I'm starting to think it IS just me! :)
