Joseph, I feel I should apologize for the numbskull devs at nvidia for writing such ridiculous code -- but I'm not responsible for them, honest ;) The lines of output above are completely normal. They don't describe the *real* error that's causing your problem. You see the "echo" in the message you posted? That means the nvidia devs chose to print the lines of code in their installer shellscript as it executes, one line at a time. That echo "ERROR...etc" is what the nvidia installer would have printed *if* you actually experienced that particular kernel config problem -- but you didn't. The real error message was printed way below what you posted above, and I suspect it was caused by a recent change in the linux kernel headers, but that's just a guess. You need to examine the remainder of the output from the nvidia installer to find the actual error, and post it here so we can help you figure it out.
