Thanks, I did like you advised and it helped
(also I used sudo before, and at this time,
I have switched to root by su; may be it
was the problem).

Thank you.

But I have faced new problem.
When I run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
and it wants to build a module,
it fails with an error:

-----------------------------------------------------------
cat /var/log/nvidia-installer.log

I have googled the error, and found that there is a bug
in Debian [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481485]
(and I use Debian), which causes the error.

There are several workarounds in the discussion of the bugs.
but I have not tried them yet.

WBR, i.m.chubin

Have you compiled modules for this kernel before?  Try compiling another module and see if  it succeeds.  Mabye the problem is with the kernel source configuration. Make sure you are compiling using the xen kernel source.  My kernel source is from the 3.1 RPMS and its called:
xen-testing-aee991c7723a.e16de9635bec
