I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre7. save/restore should be working for 32 bits on both SMP and UP, and maybe for 64 bits although it''s not tested. If someone could test migration it would be much appreciated. The installer seems to not install the drivers under 64 bit environment... but they can then be installed manually.

Hello, James Harper wrote:> I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre7. save/restore should be working for 32 > bits on both SMP and UP, and maybe for 64 bits although it''s not tested.I confirm that the -pre7 drivers work under my usual test machine: AMD Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processor 1220 stepping 03 with Ubuntu-server Hardy - Xen version 3.2.1-rc1-pre. Tests (with apic=0): * boot with /GPLPV: ok * boot without /GPLPV: ok * xm shutdown: ok * xm save/restore: ok * some exercises with BurnInTest: ok * random disk activity: ok * random net activity: ok The only issue I notice for the moment is the "Safely remove Xen Net Device Driver" icon in the tray area.

Re: [Xen-devel] Another GPLPV pre-release 0.9.11-pre7
Tried this one with a fresh installation of windows 2003 Server German, SP2 Xen version 3.2.1 Intel C2D 6600 CPU -Installation: No errors - ending with a lot of yellow "!" on the new devices -Reboot with "/gplpv" - finding a lot of devices - telling me to reboot while showing me the content of the "new" disks - i do reboot. -Filesystem errors cannot reboot - doing chkdisk /P /R in recovery-console - reparing errors - reboot -bsod - SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, STOP 0x0000006F(0xc0000130,0,0,0) -starting without /gplpv leads to direct logout, when logging in. May I have to do the first reboot without /gplpv ?

Re: [Xen-devel] Another GPLPV pre-release 0.9.11-pre7
rebuild a backup of the vm for a new fresh start. -installation -waiting short of the end 20 minutes - rebooting manual ignoring the last step of the installation -rebooting, finding lots of devices, pressing a lot of "yes", all devices show "cannot start error 10", assuming the missing gplpv flag. -rebooting again, all runs fine but yellow "!" on a lot of xen devices. -rebooting with gplpv, resulting in bsod as mentioned below -rebooting without flag, runs again. Is this a known error ?
