Bug#490751: linux-image-2.6.25-2-686: proprietary NVIDIA module will not install

Hello,

I'm somewhat puzzled by this answer:

1) Kernel 2.6.24 worked quite well for me without those xen options.

2) If you consider that essential for package:

   linux-image-2.6.25-2-686

   Why do we have this other package:

   linux-image-2.6.25-2-xen-686

   ??

   At least, I consider that misleading. What's the difference? 

   If there's a difference, I assume that if you liked any xen 
   options enabled, you would install the xen kernel image.

   Are those xen options in standard kernel required for compiling
   any other - new - feature?


Thanks.


Daniel R.
