I think the problem goes back to my kernel recompile.
mkinitrd was not installed so a new initrd-2.4.22-gentoo-r3 was not made and 
I,m using initrd-2.4.20-gento-r6
So nvidia-kernel is compiled against the wrong headers.
Now that I have emerged mkinitrd I get
"all your loop back devices are busy"
when I do 
	mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.22 kernel-2.4.22-gentoo-2.4.22-r3

If I can get this sorted I,m sure 
	emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx
will work
