NVIDIA Xen 3.0 Patch for driver 100.14.11

[Coopster]

I made a patch file for this driver from Luiz Vitor Martinez Cardoso [Grabber]'s post to the xensource list, he gets all the credit.

Apply via running 'patch -p0 < patch-xen3.0-nvidia100.14.11.txt' while in the usr/src/ directory.

Verified working on Ubuntu Feisty amd64 w/ latest updates.

Let us know how it works for you.

Works fine after reboot with opensuse 10.2.
Used this guide to get it working: http://en.opensuse.org/Use_Nvidia_driver_with_Xen

I tried this patch on RHEL5 and the patch didn't come up with any errors. But when I install it seems to fail at "make module". Has anyone been able to test this out with RHEL5? Here is the error log if anyone finds it helpful.

nvidia people, will this patch be included in upcoming driver versions?

the patch also works for lguest that is introduced in 2.6.23. However, my macbook(macbook patch also applied) reboots immediately when I view videos while lguest is running. it works when I use the x11 driver.

[zander]

No, this patch won't be included in future driver releases. Please note that although doing so is unsupported, 100.14.11 can be built against RHEL5's Xen kernels without patches if the IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE environment variable is set to a non-zero value (you may also need to create an include2 directory in the top-level directory of the kernel development files and place an asm symlink to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.el5-xen-i686/include/asm-i386 in it). Mileage with other Xen kernels will vary. I do not believe the Xen patches posted for 100.14.11 are correct. I hope to take a look at providing one for Fedora Core 7, etc., at some point in the future.

I am using CentOS 5.0 & 8600GT, Would U talk it again with detail ,

or maybe step by step

This would be great if you had some pointers/info about this as I'm dying to get this working on my system. In the meantime I'm pursuing the links/posts I can find on the net.

It works for gentoo with a little bit of symlink magic. Great feature, took me less than 10 minutes to get the driver running with xen-3.1.

[mvdlinde]

I followed the short instructions I found here (but my link points to asm-x86_64), exported IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE and got an error from the installer that no sources are installed.
Well, that is a thing I really don't understand because

If I change 2 lines in NVidia*/usr/src/nv/conftest.sh the moduleinterface compiles and it works to load the module, but the attempt to start X ends with a kernelpanic.

[trouserless]

does the 100.14.11 driver patch work with the 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen kernel? I'm getting all sorts asm errors and dependency issues when I try to build against this.

I am attempting to configure Xen 3.1 with the nvidia drivers (100.x series). Could you provide more details about how you got this working?

Thanks.

[jarjar26]

I tried with SLES 10 SP1, and when i try to modprobe new nvidia.ko , i received these error : FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.16.53-0.8-xenpae/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format
Any idea ?
