Hi,

I saw this posting by Boris.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/61143

Perhaps the Xen dom 0 pvops kernel I am using is too new (2.6.30-rc3), and the NVIDIA driver I am using does not support it.

Dear All,

I followed the XEN - NVIDIA - STEP BY STEP instructions at nV news forums but I still couldn't get X to work under Xen pv-ops domain 0 kernel. It still shows me a freezed blank screen. I couldn't switch to any tty (1 to 7 inclusive).

Here are the scenarios I have tried:

1)     IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run

2) IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM" ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run

3)

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.31-pkg2.run --extract-only

cd usr/src/nv

IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y CC="gcc -DNV_VMAP_4_PRESENT -DNV_SIGNAL_STRUCT_RLIM" make SYSSRC=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.30-rc3-enming.teo-tip module

cp nvidia.ko /lib/modules/2.6.30-rc3-enming.teo-tip/kernel/drivers/video

cd /lib/modules/2.6.30-rc3-enming.teo-tip/kernel/drivers/video

depmod -a

rmmod nvidia

lsmod | grep nvidia

modprobe nvidia

lsmod | grep nvidia

None of the above three scenarios I have attempted worked for me.

When I tried to load the newly compiled nvidia driver (against the Xen Domain 0 paravirt operations kernel), it gives me the following message:

NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 185.18.31 Tue Jul 28 17:52:27 PDT 2009

NVRM: PAT configuration unsupported, falling back to MTRRs.

Any more ideas?
