Description Erik Bussink 2006-11-21 15:45:55 UTC
Description of problem:

While trying to evaluate RHEL Desktop (Client + WS + Virtualization) on a system
with a nvidia graphic card, the nvidia driver (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9629-
pkg2.run) needs to be installed (requirement is kernel-xen-devel). 
While installing the nvidia driver, at the end of the building kernel module, 
the kernel-xen panics.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2747.el5.x86_64.rpm
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-1.2747.el5.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Every attempt to install the nvidia driver

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot into kernel-xen
2. start ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9629-pkg2.run
3. starts building kernel module
  
Actual results:

Expected results:

Smooth installation of nvidia driver.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Rik van Riel 2006-11-21 15:58:11 UTC
Is this an open source nvidia driver, or the proprietary driver?

Comment 2 Erik Bussink 2006-11-21 17:09:17 UTC
It's the proprietary client NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-9629-pkg2.run.

Comment 3 Rik van Riel 2006-11-21 17:21:36 UTC
As I do not have the source code to their driver, I will not be able to fix it.

Sorry.
