Hello xenners,
It has recently
been brought to my attention that linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
(2.6.32-30) was released in the Debian sid repositories [1]. Urgency
is set to high so I'd imagine the migration to squeeze will not take
long as well. The changelog shows [2]:
xen: backport TTM patches to use PCI API. Fixes PCIe GPU (specifically
Radeon and Nouveau) on Xen (Closes: #601341).
Previously I was successful using the nouveau video driver with
Xen on my laptop with nvidia graphic when using the
Debian 2.6.32-29+xen0 kernel from the ianc (Ian Campbells) xenbits
folder.
When I tried the new sid kernel (-30), I
found that I was able to boot natively (bare-metal) with full
functionality; meaning X with gnome desktop manager was working, able
to suspended and woken up, etc. (did not test sound).
When I
tried to boot the kernel through the Xen hypervisor it hangs X &
fb console like reported in a bug report [3]. My laptop is a Lenovo
ThinkPad R61 and my lspci -vvv -s 01:00.0 output is as
followed:

Please advise on how one
should proceed. I'd like to know why 2.6.32-29+xen0 works but
2.6.52-30 does not work on my system.
