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. *** Failed Xen sanity check.
