Hello,

I got bored with vanilla-sources and went for other
*-sources and this resulted I have
2.4.22 kernel (arcangeli)
2.4.20 kernel (gentoo)
2.4.21 kernel (vanilla)

When I emerge nvidia-kernel and nvidia-glx it builds
modules for new kernel and umnerges modules for old,
How to protect old versions of nvidia.o?

Just after config and before compile, you can edit the Makefile. There
you can edit the EXTRAVERSION variable. This will be appended to your
linux-version. So your modules will end up in /lib/modules/2.4.21-<bla>/
