Bug#482305: kernel 2.6.25-2-686 has xen support
Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686
Version: 2.6.25-3
Hi,
I updated sid/unstable a few minutes ago and when I try to
re-compile nvidia propietary module, this message appears:
Detected compiler version : 4.1.2
Using compiler gcc-4.1 version 4.1.2
touch /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/gcc-check
touch /usr/src/modules/nvidia-kernel/nv/cc-sanity-check

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.
...then, I think about what kernel is running and this is the
"standard" (I mean, no xen support)

i686 GNU/Linux
root@cube:~#
apt-cache reveals the following kernels availables
linux-image-2.6.25-2-486 - Linux 2.6.25 image on x86
linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 - Linux 2.6.25 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
linux-image-2.6.25-2-686-bigmem - Linux 2.6.25 image on
PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 - Linux 2.6.25 image on
AMD64
linux-image-2.6.25-2-xen-686 - Linux 2.6.25 image on i686
but I have installed (none with xen) only these packages:
ii linux-image-2.6-686 2.6.25+14 Linux
2.6 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/P4
ii linux-image-2.6-k7 2.6.25+14 Linux
2.6 image on AMD K7 - transition packa
ii linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 2.6.25-3 Linux
2.6.25 image on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/
So I don't know if there was a bug while generating -686 version
and includes xen support (as the package linux-image-2.6.25-2-xen-686) or
if I have another problem (maybe related to nvidia propietary module)
