I just installed Xen PV Driver 0.9.12-pre13 on my Win2003 server DomU. After installed I check the Device Manager, there are still two device with "!" message. Below is the screenshot. http://share.s.mygrid.asia/screen1.png (1) Intel(R) 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller (2) Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC How can I fix the driver problem of these two devices?

That''s how newer version of GPLPV works. When booting normally after installing GPLPV, those two devices will show exclamation mark. When booting with /NOGPLPV or in safe mode, those two devices will work and the GPLPV driver (xen block device and xennet) won''t work instead.

A previous version of GPLPV was ''hiding'' the devices, but that was causing some delay problems during boot and some other issues. Basically the problem is that by the time it is possible to identify the devices I needed to hide, windows had already been told about them, so taking them away made it upset. There is a patch you can apply to Xen 3.3.1 to allow hiding via a different method - telling qemu to hide the devices - which works properly and allows the qemu cdrom device to still be used which supports eject etc. I haven''t heard of anyone except me having any success with it though.

I''m thinking of switching to unstable from 3.3.1 for veridian support anyway :).
