To add this support, the existing code searches for either the viostor or the VMDP (Virtual Machine Driver Pack) files and updates the registry accordingly. Note that VMDP's block driver pvvxblk depends on the ballooning driver pvvxbn. --- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++------ v2v/windows_virtio.ml | 113 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------...

In the ISO image, you can find some rpm packages in the directory suse/noarch/. Decompress suse/noarch/vmdp- xen-rhel5-1.1.3-6.noarch.rpm package, (I do it using the alien then dpkg --extract).

Wait for driver installations fired by the PnP manager to complete before running firstboot scripts. The first patch is a minor refactoring to pave the way for the second patch. The latter contains the bulk of the changes as well as the description of the idea.
