RE: nvidia and 2.5.70 kernel

Gave this a try (in the proper order) and it still fails in the same
spot(s). It's starting in the riscom8 module. Seems like a lot of these
just don't compile yet.

I'll just have to go through the tedious ones until I get them all to go
I suppose. Just was hoping someone had made it through all of these.

Cheers,

Chris
