Re: [Xen-devel] Vt-d not working with 3.4.1

Dear All,

I can confirm that recompiling the Xen dom 0 paravirt-ops kernel using 
gzip compression works. I can use the generated bzImage to boot up Domain 0.
If you attempt to compile the Xen Dom 0 pv-ops kernel using bzip2 
compression, you won't be able to boot up Domain 0 using the generated 
bzImage. You will get an ELF error and kernel panic on CPU 0.
As for X server, I haven't got much luck yet.

I was able to download and compile NVIDIA's kernel module directly from 
official NVIDIA website for Fedora 11 Default shipping kernel. I was 
able to start X server successfully and launch a desktop environment 
using nvidia.ko.
However, if I want to compile the nvidia kernel module against Xen dom 0 
pv_ops kernel sources, the kernel module compiles successfully, but when 
I start X, the screen becomes blank and the whole system freezes there.
