nVidia and Xen under Fedora 7

Hi!
I know Xen is officially not supported by nVidia, but I can't even get to
the point of building the thing! I encounter a number of small problems
that I can work around, then another that I'm not sure how to tackle:
getting GCC to use the files in include/asm-i386/mach-xen. I think this
is the core of the problem that I am experiencing.
In case it helps, here's what I've done so far:
* Install kernel-xen-devel: yum -y install kernel-xen-devel
* Download nVidia 100.14.19 package
* Extract package
* Attempt to build: make module
At first, the build system can't detect the kernel version. The following
patch fixes that:
--- nv-orig/conftest.sh 2007-09-13 05:49:01.000000000 +0800
+++ nv/conftest.sh 2007-10-16 17:25:28.000000000 +0800

echo "#include <linux/autoconf.h>
#include <linux/version.h>
- #include <linux/utsname.h>
int main() {
if (LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,0)) {
return 0;
Next, try make with the Xen sanity check off:
IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 make module
Now, it complains that pm_message_t is defined twice (see
nvidia-build-errors-001.txt). Turns out, the pm_message_t test in
conftest.sh is not working properly.
That test builds a simple C program to test for pm_message_t. For some
reason, it's failing to build (see nvidia-build-errors-002.txt).
At this point, I think I need to work out how to get the C compiler to
look for files in mach-xen/asm, as that test is trying to include
synch_bitops.h and hypervisor.h, which only reside in that folder.
I tried to work around it by explicitly telling the build system that it's
OK, with:
IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1 NV_PM_MESSAGE_T=1 make module
The failure occurred at include/asm/elf.h, which I think might depend on
mach-xxx (in this case, mach-xen). There were also many other warnings.
See nvidia-build-errors-003.txt.
At this point I'm giving up, because it seems that whatever is causing the
compiler to fail to include he right files will just cause endless grief
until I solve it. I even tried to copy asm-i386/mach-xen/asm/*.h to
asm-i386, but that didn't work. It made some errors go away, but not all
of them.
Going back to the first problem I found (unable to determine kernel
version), I discovered similar problems with synch_bitops.h and
hypervisor.h (see nvidia-build-errors-004.txt), so I assume it's all
related.
Any ideas?
Regards, Msquared...
