I have suse11.
I installed kernel-default (2.6.25.11-0.1) and kernel-xen ( 2.6.25.11-0.1-xen) rpms.
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.13-pkg2 was successfully installed under 2.6.25.11-0.1. But I have an issue with 2.6.25.11-0.1-xen.
Installer complains for incompatible sources.

ERROR: If you are using a Linux 2.4 kernel, please make sure
you either have configured kernel sources matching your
kernel or the correct set of kernel headers installed
on your system.If you are using a Linux 2.6 kernel, please make sure you have configured kernel sources matching your kernel installed on your system. If you specified a separate output directory using either the "KBUILD_OUTPUT" or the "O" KBUILD parameter, make sure to specify this directory with the SYSOUT environment variable or with the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option. Depending on where and how the kernel sources (or the kernel headers) were installed, you may need to specify their location with the SYSSRC environment variable or the equivalent nvidia-installer command line option.ERROR: Installation has failed.
here is the directory pointed by the kernel_source parameter given to the nvidia installer

i’ve tried
>sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/xen/ ./asm
and
>sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm_x86/ ./asm
but still doesn’t work…
hope somebody helps me
ps stuff like IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE and several nvidia installer patches doesn’t help
