[Xen-users] PV 0.9.12pre3 gives BSOD when installing in VM in Xenserver 5.
Hello, I have Xenserver 5.0. When i install a new VM with Windows Server 2003 X64 Standard (R2) and install all windows-updates, it gives me a BSOD when i install the PV 0.9.12pre3 drivers. Steps to reproduce: - Install Xenserver 5 (light/free or Enterprise/trial) - Install a Windows Server 2003 x64 R2 VM from a ISO or CD - Install all windows updates - Download the GPLPV 0.9.12pre3 .exe file to the desktop and double-click it. - First it will give 3 popups about certificate/signing warnings - Then it gives 1 or 2 driver-install popups for the Xen PCI Device Driver, when i click ok... it gives a BSOD ! I attached 2 screenshots: - One of the BSOD http://www.nabble.com/file/p20607865/bsod.jpg - One of the Device Management screen -before- doing the GPLPV driver install http://www.nabble.com/file/p20607865/screenshot_BEFORE_install.jpg i installed the GPLPV drivers before, on a system which had the XenTools 4.0/4.1 installed, i unstalled those.. and then a install of GPLPV has no problems... BUT a install from scratch.. on a real clean system gives errors. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PV-0.9.12pre3-gives-BSOD-when-installing-in-VM-in-Xenserver-5.-tp20607865p20607865.html Sent from the Xen - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

XenServer (Citrix) have his owen drivers include. GPLPV drivers is for Xen OpenSource. bye -- -- Victor Hugo dos Santos Linux Counter #224399 _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I know it was not ''intended'' for Xenserver. However, after a XenPVTools install / uninstall it works. It even works better than the Xen PV Tools (for Xenserver 5.0). The GPLPV drivers work much beter (and have much better control over) TCP offload/checksumming, etc. I was giving James Harper feedback .. i hope he can make it Xenserver 5.0 compatible. (btw. Xenserver is not only for the rich ;) You can dowload a free light version which does not support remote-storage).

The fact that it works on a system which has had the XenTools uninstalled but not on a clean system worries me too... If you can make the dump file available to me I can have a look. If you can run the debugger against it then even better. I''m not sure that supporting XenServer is the right thing to do though... being closed source (even though it mostly tracks the open source version) they can change things from version to version and I''d have to reverse engineer the changes to find out what is going on. I think maybe your efforts would be better spent making noise to get them to fix the problems with their drivers.
