[Xen-users] 2.6.22.9-xen (ubuntu) and Nvidia x86_64-100.14.19 - success

[Morten Bøgeskov <xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my recently acquired Core2Duo I've installed debian etch amd64,
Then I've pulled the linux-source from since I need newer raid and  
netcard drivers:
http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22.orig.tar.gz
http://dk.archive.ubuntu.com/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-14.46.diff.gz

Unpacked the source and patched:

cd linux-source-2.6.22-2.6.22/

cat debian/binary-custom.d/xen/patchset/* | patch -p1

make menuconfig && make && ... && reboot

installed and booted.

Then I built a nvidia driver (the patch is based on an old one from suse).

bash NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run -a -x

cp -a NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2/usr/src/nv/  
nvidia-source-100.14.19-x86_64-xen
patch -p0 < nvidia-xen.diff

$EDITOR /lib/modules/`uname  
-r`/build/include/asm-i386/mach-xen/asm/hypervisor.h
[ comment out HYPERVISOR_poll function ]

cd nvidia-source-100.14.19-x86_64-xen

IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=y make SYSSRC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build module
[nessecary with SYSSRC=... to get all the includepaths right]

no complaints from Xorg about "AIGLX"
and /usr/lib/xscreensaver/gears from xscreensaver-gl ran.
so I claim success.

I make no promises regarding your success, but... Have fun trying to  
get it to work.
