Re: [Xen-users] about module nVidia GeForce 8400 G in Xen

["Emre ERENOGLU" <erenoglu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can you try to compile the modules directly from source after exporting the environment variable? The steps shall be:

1) Install "user" portion of the package under a normal kernel
2) switch to xen kernel, make sure the kernel headers or source is in place
3) extract the nvidia driver package using appropriate command line option
4) compile the nvidia kernel module from source with the IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 env variable present.
5) Install module, depmod and reboot

You talk about

export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1

right?

I have downloaded drivers from the page:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_173.14.09.html

and have tried to install it with the variable
IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE set to 1.



export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run  --x-module-path=/usr/lib/xorg/modules/


I have got the same error message
"Xen was detected; I don't want to continue"
or something like this.


Have you installed NVidia drivers in this way?
What is the kernel version on the system where you have installed
it?
May it be due to my kernel is too old?
$ uname -a
Linux cholpon 2.6.18-4-xen-686 #1 SMP Thu May 10 03:24:35 UTC 2007
i686 GNU/Linux


Any other ideas?

Thank you in advance.
