I've emerged xen-sources per the Wiki & I think I've got it setup correctly, however when I try to emerge nvidia-drivers it doesn't like the dom0 kernel. Any ideas?

If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.

If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure
you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel
installed on your system. If you specified a separate
output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or
the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this
directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Did you set the symlink from /usr/src/linux correctly?
Code:

Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the
kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify
their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or
the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.

Sorry, no other ideas.

Yup...I recently started using eselect kernel to handle it. I had to switch it back when I booted from my non-xen kernel.

other ideas?

- You could try Nvidia-Drivers-1.0.9639
- Go to nvidia.com and see which kernel versions that driver supports
- use the xorg nvidia drivers ("nv") - which isn't what you need, I guess

Xen kernel is not officially supported by NVIDIA driver. One has to apply patch to get around the problem.

Here are a few links that can help:

Same here... I have tried so many nvidia driver versions with their patches... At the end now. I'm using kernel 2.6.20-xen-r6, followed all tutorials, help pages, forum entries, and howtos I could find on the net, but no success so far.

F1, F1, F1!

Cheers,
Manfred
