[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#483622: nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source: Fails to compile with 2.6.25-2.686, identifies it as Xen kernel

[Dimitris Kogias]

Package: nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source
Version: 96.43.05-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Building for kernel 2.6.25-2-686, which I currently have installed:

The kernel you are installing for is a Xen kernel!

The NVIDIA driver does not currently work on Xen kernels. If
you are using a stock distribution kernel, please install
a variant of this kernel without Xen support; if this is a
custom kernel, please install a standard Linux kernel.  Then
try installing the NVIDIA kernel module again.

*** Failed Xen sanity check. Bailing out! ***

The error is identical even after applying the patch referenced in 
#477643, which does seem to apply cleanly:
