Yes.. I use CentOS 5.1 2.6.18.1.21

I tried the Christoper´s way :

# export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1

# chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.09-pkg1.run
 

It works in 2.6.18.1.21 (with init 3) but it doesn´t work in 2.6.18.1.21el5.xen!!

I can´t get into x11 GUI

Is 2.6.18.1.21.el5.xen not kernel 3.1? Should I change to xen 3.1 so it will work?

Are they Any ideas?

 

Thank you,

Sincerely Yours,

Eric Jansen

This is my kernel version:

2.6.18-xen_3.1.0

Its from the xen 3.1 rpms at xen.org.  I haven't tried with the xen kernel from centos repositories.  I figured they are tied in with the older xen 3.0.  Plus, I had pciback hiding problems  with the centos xen kernel plus xen 3.0.
