Hello,
After testing 2.6.9-rc2-bk4 today, I am getting the following error when I
attempt to load my Nvidia module:
Sep 18 15:31:36 poseidon kernel: nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints
kernel.
Sep 18 15:31:36 poseidon kernel: nvidia: Unknown symbol __VMALLOC_RESERVE

I've had this problem too. Try to use bk3. It is working for me. :)

There is a recent post with details of what's needed for the nvidia
driver to compile and work. Links to patched are included. For that one,
put as the first line in nv.c
unsigned int __VMALLOC_RESERVE;
There is also the need to add "PM_SAVE_STATE, /* save device's state */"
to included/linux/pm.h after PM_RESUME line and a previous patch to nv.c
that's been around a few weeks now.
Regards
Sid.

Thanks, this fixes the problem.
