<QUOTE drivesoslow> SOLVED! It was a kernel issue. The current Fedora 8 XEN kernel was the issue. Since there was not a newer one available I enabled the development repo and installed the Fedora 9 XEN kernel that was in it. A couple of small hacks with the drive source and I have a working NVIDIA 169.07 driver. I assume when the next kernel is release for Fedora 8 it will resolve this issue. Was: Code: kernel-xen-2.6.21-2952.fc8 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.21-2952.fc8 Now: Code: kernel-xen-2.6.21.7-2892.fc9 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.21.7-2892.fc9 </QUOTE> Regards, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics Engineering) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Technical Support Engineer Information Technology Department Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd Tampines Central 1 #04-01 Tampines Plaza Singapore 529541 Republic of Singapore Mobile: +65-9648-9798 MSN: teoenming@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: xen-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xen-devel-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 9:10 PM To: enming.teo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; mad@xxxxxx Cc: xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; weidong.han@xxxxxxxxx; 'Bonenkamp,Ralf' Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] Vt-d not working with 3.4.1 <QUOTE drivesoslow> I was able to get it to compile and install no problem finally, but it locks up when I startx.

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. -- Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics Engineering) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Technical Support Engineer Information Technology Department Asiasoft Online Pte Ltd Tampines Central 1 #04-01 Tampines Plaza Singapore 529541 Republic of Singapore Mobile: +65-9648-9798 MSN: teoenming@xxxxxxxxxxx Alma Maters: Singapore Polytechnic, National University of Singapore On 08/19/2009 09:06 PM, Marc - A.
