I wrote a patch to make 96xx compile with 2.6.25. I don't remember if Randall released that yet though. Here is the patch if you want to try manually applying it to the /usr/src/modules/nvidia-... directory before compiling (tell module assistant not to extract again using -O I think it is). First it needs the patch from here: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110088 Then it needs the patch to fix dealing with xen enabled kernels: diff -ruN usr/src/nv/conftest.sh usr/src/nv/conftest.sh --- usr/src/nv/conftest.sh 2008-06-07 11:00:05.000000000 -0400 +++ usr/src/nv/conftest.sh 2008-06-07 11:02:31.000000000 -0400 @@ -1140,62 +1140,7 @@ ;; xen_sanity_check) - # - # Check if the target kernel is a Xen kernel.
