I had the same issue with the latest Ubuntu 8.10 kernel, those idiots
compiled the standard kernel with XEN support.

Here is what I did to get it to compile:
% cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`
% grep CONFIG_XEN . -Rl | xargs -i sed -i -e 's/CONFIG_XEN/CONFIG_LUPO/g' { }
% export IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE=1
% cd -
% sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.61.02-pkg2.run

nvidia only checks the presence of CONFIG_XEN in the config file
