The source package for linux in Ubuntu 8.04 for i386 has the following line in the file ./debian/confi/i386/config.server:

    CONFIG_XEN=y

The corresponding config file for amd64 does not have this line. I don't know anything about this: maybe it is intentional and not a bug. But it means that the server flavor kernel on the i386 architecture is recognized as a xen kernel (but not on the amd64 architecture). This is why the nvidia binary installer refuses to install on the server kernel in i386.

This is certainly not a duplicate.
