been there, done that ... there's still a number of modules that
don't compile, so the rule is: if you don't need it, don't select
it.  i'm running 2.5.70-bk6 at the moment, and the latest nvidia
driver.  works fine.

to see all the modules that will cause problems, run make
with the "-ki" options, to allow make to continue compiling
in the face of errors.  then just note the ones that failed
and deselect them.
