The problem can be seen by using the following two commands:
cat /proc/version gcc -v
If you have installed from Knoppix, you will see that the versions of gcc are different. Unless you know how to change gcc to use version 2.9.x instead of 3.2, then you should recompile a kernel.
I have the same set up as I installed debian using Knoppix. I downloaded the kernel-source-2.4.22 package and used the /boot/config-2.4.22-xfs file as a base configuration for the new kernel (I removed a lot of unneccessary stuff before I compiled).
I created a new kernel deb using make-kpkg and installed it using dpkg. I rebooted and tried the NVidia install and it worked just fine.
If you have any problems with any of this, just ask..... Johnny.
