I''ve just uploaded a pre-release version of the GPLPV drivers for windows - 0.9.11-pre4. Please read the rest of this email before using. The following bugs have been fixed: . Installer problems with certs . Now works on a 32 bit system with /PAE and >4G memory . Back to only hiding specific PCI ID''s. PCI passthrough should now work again. . Major changes (again) to the xenhide code. The existing functionality remains, and in addition I''ve restored some of the previous functionality. When you boot with /GPLPV, the qemu devices should be completely gone, which looks a bit neater. When you boot without /GPLPV, the xen devices will show exclamation marks. This is deliberate. On that last point, please test on a test DomU first as if the hide code is broken in some way and fails to ''hide'' the qemu ide device, your NTFS filesystem will be corrupted beyond repair. The 0.9.11 release proper will depend on me getting no ''you corrupted my filesystem'' emails :) The cert stuff actually seems to greatly reduce the number of messages I have to click through on install!

After installing the GPLPV drivers, Windows 2008 x32 just stays at the loading screen. When installing, I don''t believe the cert was automatically installed so I went through the warnings when installing drivers. I then installed the cert manually by double clicking on it, and manually installed the drivers in device manager. I have tried reinstalling 0.9.10 with the same results.

So I guess it''s not longer compatible with stock Xen that comes with CentOS 5.2 and earlier.
