...k on any combination of front and backend bit widths (32, 32p, 64). Previous crashes that I thought were due to Intel arch were actually due to this problem. . The vbd driver will now not enumerate ''boot'' disks (eg those normally serviced by the emulated pci ide device) unless the xenhide driver is loaded which hides that pci ide device. Without this it was possible to load xenvbd, not load xenhide, and get two windows drivers (xenvbd and pciide) running the same backend disk. Filesystem hosing was a near-certain outcome! For everyone who''s been getting crashes with xenvb...

I have a Win2K3 domU (and thankfully an image backup of the LVM volume that holds its system disk) I previously installed GPLPV v0.8.9 drivers, the domU boots OK with or without the /GPLPV switch in boot.ini, however with the /GPLPV switch it tries and fails to use the Xen network driver, and so the machine is network-less, so for the past few months I''ve left it using pure HVM

...covery. It was a fairly major rewrite of xenpci, and xenvbd, which are now working (booting and running without crashes so far). I haven''t touched xennet yet so it''s broken atm, although it won''t be too hard to get it working. Also I have taken a different approach with xenhide and it should be a lot more robust than before (eg shouldn''t get duplicate disks with the resulting corruption). The graceful shutdown stuff in xenpci is also broken at this point, as is the ability to unload the xenpci driver (eg BSoD on shutdown). Is anyone interested in testing these...

I just installed Windows 2008 x86_64 on Xen 3.2 that I compiled from source on CentOS 5.1. Are there any windows guest tools available that run shutdown when I issue xm reboot in dom0?

...39; and ''console'' devices. Just ignore that for now. Without /GPLPV specified in the boot.ini the xenvbd and xennet drivers will just sit in ''Failed to start. Code 10'' state. See the next paragraph for why. Also changed in this release is a different approach to xenhide which hides the QEMU ATA and network PCI devices (and the xen devices when GPLPV is specified). Hopefully this should put an end to the problem of duplicate disks and the resulting corruption. At the moment it will leave ''hidden'' devices visible with a yellow exclamation mark, be...

In the spirit of ''release early, release often'', here''s another binary release... http://www.meadowcourt.org/WindowsXenPV-0.8.8.zip The only thing that''s changed since 0.8.7 is that xennet should work under amd64 again.

Hello everyone, just wondered after I read about devices passed through in HVM if the following if still true: (for Xen3.2.1) - a Domain running in HVM cannot get forwarded any other device than a USB device. - the USB device forwarding is not too stable - PCI forwarding is not possible without processor support and Xen support. - The GPLPV tools won''t change anything with that.

I''ve just made my first ever attempt at an Nullsoft installer, so if you want to try it download "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.5.exe" from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ The installer should detect the version of windows you are running and install the drivers. At the moment you''ll need to install the shutdown monitor service manually, but you can do that from the start
