The seventh release candidate is now tagged in the xen-unstable.hg repository, as ''3.3.0-rc7''. This shares the same tag as -rc6 in the ioemu-remote repository (xen-3.3.0-rc6). http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg This fixes an x86 HVM emulation issue introduced in -rc6 which caused certain guests (Win98 and OS2, for example) to fail to boot. The fixes which introduced this issue still need wider testing, so please give -rc7 a spin! -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I noticed a new changeset has been committed http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?diff/6fc154f0827e/xen/arch/x86/hvm/emulate.c I will try for xen-3.3.0-rc8-pre changeset 18353 and if I encounter same error will report back with log. Thanks. Kindest regards, Giam Teck Choon _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

The bluescreen is probably Windows getting an unexpected exception in interrupt context. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
