It would be great if the XEN options: CONFIG_XEN=y CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y
were turned off in the Debian stock kernel until there is adequate support for installing the Debian NVIDIA packages (nvidia-kernel-source, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-glx) under testing, given that this is now the default testing kernel. Note that instructions similar to the following (available at http://blog.creonfx.com/linux/how-to-install-nvidia-driver-on-2625-2-debian-kernel-with-xen and elsewhere): 1. cd /lib/modules/2.6.25-2-686 (or wherever are your modules) 2. grep CONFIG_XEN . -Rl | xargs -i sed -i -e 's/CONFIG_XEN/CONFIG_LUPO/g' {} 3. export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 4. sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.08-pkg1.run (or you can use patched 169.12 - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=110088 ) do not always work (they didn't for me, nor for several other people who have reported this problem in various places). Also note: The following advice (from bug report 481485): |- If you use the nvidia installer you are on your own. You also cause |- package files to be overwritten and will likely have breakage on |- upgrades in the future. Have fun. |- |- If you use the debian packages then we can help. We already fixed the |- xen problem in the debian packages by patching the driver build system. is completely unhelpful (and unappreciated) since, as noted above (and in the Debian wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers#head-816174f32ba98061bdd68615838ee453646721f1), the Debian packages won't install in testing.
