Bug Description

The package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-xen seems to be missing the modules ore dpkg -L is reporting incorrectly. Either way the nvidia modules doesn't load.

$ dpkg -L linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-xen
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-xen
/usr/share/doc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-xen/copyright
/usr/share/doc/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-11-xen/changelog.Debian.gz
$

$ls /lib/linux-restricted-modules/
2.6.22-10-generic 2.6.22-11-generic
$

I would expect the modules to be in /lib/linux-restricted-modules... but there is no 2.6.22-11-xen as I would expect.

I compiled the nvidia module from source (nvidia and nvidia_new). 9639 nvidia module fails as well as the self compilec 100.x.x modules (both patched for xen)

The module is no longer missing it is simply broken. I think now that this is a duplicate of bug # 150192

I will update the summary and mark this a duplicate of that one

I either don't have access or can't find the place to change the summary. I guess it is not a big issue now that this is a duplicate of bug 150192
