XServer start niet met xenkernel [OpenSuse]

[zezke]

Ik heb zonet hypervisor geïnstalleerd, maar toen ik wou opstarten met de kernel met xen kwam er de volgende foutboodschap op het scherm:

...
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.

Fatal server error:

Toen dacht ik dat ik de nvidia driver moest opnieuw installeren, maar ook deze leverde een fout op, maar geen deftig log:

En nu zit ik zo'n beetje zonder ideeën hoe dit op te lossen.

Eh, die deftige log waar je het over hebt, zou die niet in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log kunnen staan?
En heb je die README al eens bekeken? Hier staat iets meer daar over, maar het is niet al te uitgebreid.

De installer vind wel een kernel source en build directory, maar waarschijnlijk zijn die nog niet klaar voor gebruik door de installer. Het kan zijn dat je daarvoor een 'make prepare && modules_prepare' in de xen kernel source directory (/lib/modules/2.6.25.11-0.1-xen/source) moet geven. Probeer dat eens en draai dan de installer nog eens.

Heb net eens jouw suggesties geprobeerd, nog steeds hetzelfde.

Een ander probleem dat ik heb is dat ik niet 100% zeker ben welke drivers ik moet kiezen. Ik zit namelijk met een 8400 in m'n laptop, maar de drivers voor laptops zijn enkel voor 8700 etc. Moet ik dan de gewonde desktopdrivers gebruiken van de 8 series?

Nvidia werkt standaard niet met Xen, hiervoor moet je patchen:

http://en.opensuse.org/Use_Nvidia_driver_with_Xen

[zezke]

Hmm die methode werkt ook niet (staat ook bij dat de methode niet meer werkt na 12 juli 2007). Unable to find kernel sources, nochtans staan deze wel geinstalleerd en verwijs ik hem naar de correcte map.

Ik denk dat ik het maar laat rusten.

[Kippenijzer]

Mjah, je zult vooralsnog waarschijnlijk even de keuze moeten maken, Xen zonder de officiele Nvidia driver, of geen xen en dan wel de Nvidia driver, weet zo niet zeker of dat makkelijk naast elkaar te draaien is (meerdere X-configs), maar is dat geen optie, booten wat je op dat moment nodig hebt?
