nvidia kernel module

Hi!

I have problems w/ the NVIDIA_kernel module. Let me explain the
situation :

i now run a 2.4.19 kernel. My gcc is compiled w/ it, and it works fine.
A compiled the 2.4.20-lunar-r1 (by hand, not lin lunux). It's almost
complete, just needs the nvidia module. So i did 'lin NVIDIA_kernel',
but that failed (i attach the log). I couldn't solve it, so i tried to
download it from nvidia and do it by hand. BTW i just noticed it has a
new installer :) It said it cannot find a precompiled header for my
kernel, so it makes one. Id did and said everything is ok. But the
module seems unusable because of kernel versions mismatch (?). Maybe
because gcc uses another include than my current kernel? Dunno, i attach
the nvidia driver's install log too. 

Anybody faced this problem or has a suggestion what should i try?

thx, hirisov

-> License accepted.
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
   ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
   rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
   this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
   your kernel.
