Hello,
I try to get a Nvidia Quadro PCI-E graphics card to work with xen in
Dom0 with the binary nivida-drivers.
I use the xen-2.0-testing tarball with kernel 2.6.12 and the nvidia
driver package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.
The nvidia kernel module compiles without errors but when I try to
load it segfaults.
Is it possibly because the tls-libs are disabled?
Has anyone managed to get the nvidia drivers to work with xen? Or is
there a general problem with xen + nvidia?
This is a recipe for disaster. The nVidia kernel driver has a binary
layer that it not Xen-ready. It's very likely that it's going to be
doing something it's not supposed to do in Xen.
You're out of luck until nVidia releases a Xen driver. You can also use
the Open Source driver (or even just Vesa).
This is why binary modules are so evil...
Well, Nvidia seems to be interested in Xen support. On nvnews.net, I
wrote a polite request for Xen support. Please see the thread at:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60125
Unfortunately, due to major HW/SW upgrades, it'll be a short while
before I can participate on the forum myself.
Often, vendors are accused of not showing interest in Linux, so since
Nvidia has now shown Xen interest, I believe it'll be A Good Thing if
some from this list would signup on nvnews and participate.
