Well, I seem to have developed a strange issue with the GPL PV drivers in Windows. I''m running Xen 3.2 on SLES 10 SP2 and running some Windows XP HVM domUs. Most (12-15) of my Windows machines work just fine. Two of them, though, have started exhibiting a strange behavior with intermittent network connectivity. Basically, the network starts up and connects initially. After some

This patch cleans up some 80-odd warnings I was seeing when compiling the xenpci driver, all completely trivial. It also replaces the use of asm for calling cpuid with the __cpuid compiler intrinsic, and modifies calling code accordingly. I''m pretty sure my mailer going to mangle the inline patch (below) so I''m attaching the pristine version. (will try to fix...

I''m been busily converting the xenpci and xenvbd drivers from WDF to WDM to resolve a few issues including potential licensing problems with the Microsoft WDF and to (hopefully) allow them to function as boot drivers when doing install and system recovery. It was a fairly major rewrite of xenpci, and xenvbd, which are now working (boo...

...PV under Xen 4.2 when using PoD. I''m using the difference between XENMEM_maximum_reservation and XENMEM_current_reservation to tell me how much I should balloon down to account for PoD, but when the user has ballooned down to 1G (from 4Gb or 8GB), GPLPV logs the following: 13005008825593: XenPCI XENMEM_maximum_reservation = 262400 13005008825593: XenPCI XENMEM_current_reservation = 262136 13005008825609: XenPCI Trying to give 1056 KB (1 MB) to Xen What is the correct way to tell how much PoD memory there is under 4.2? Am I doing it wrong? I balloon down as early as possible (...

...If i use QCOW images with my Windows DomU''s i get a stop error: 0x00000007b (inaccessible boot device). It looks like the blkback.3.hda process, that normally starts with normal raw backend, doesnt get started with tap:qcow disks. Instead i get this repeating entry in the qemu log: XenPCI Still waiting for 2 (currently 1)... XenPCI Still waiting for 2 (currently 1)... XenPCI Still waiting for 2 (currently 1)... Any ideas? /Martin _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/...

...unaligned memory buffers. The thing that''s bugging me at the moment is how to make upgrades from previous versions work nicely. Part of the problem is that some of the drivers BSOD on close sometimes, which I should be able to fix if I can catch it happening, but the main problem is that xenpci 0.9.8 (probably) isn''t going to work with xennet 0.9.9, and when windows upgrades the drivers it will know that it has to upgrade xenpci next boot so it defers it (because xenvbd is using it to manage the system drive), but knows that it can upgrade xennet now, which introduces the version...

Hi there. I have been dealing with a conundrum off and on with a VPS of mine. Windows 2003 Standard 32 bit on a Xen HVM instance. Been trying to get the GPLPV drivers working to help boost performance but always seem to run into one major issue: The PV network device looks like it works but actual connectivity is non-existant. Everything else in the GPLPV driver suite works fine. What I want to

James, I am running Windows 2008 R2 on Xen that is packaged with CentOS 5.4. I installed gplpv_Vista2008x64_0.11.0.238.msi using the falling steps: 1. Turn on testsigning 2. Reboot 3. Install gplpv_Vista2008x64_0.11.0.238.msi 4. Install process requests a reboot at the end. 5. At the end of the subsequent boot, there is a prompt for a reboot again. I

ShutdownMon connects to a ''socket'' (of sorts) created by the xenpci driver and listens for events. Probably best to either get the source using hg or wait for the next binary release (as soon as Andy is happy for the n...

Hi all, After loading the GplPV drivers for Windows Server 2008, I wanted to get rid of the annoying F8 option when rebooting each time. I looked at Ready Driver Plus, which seemed to work, but was only a workaround. It also seemed to kill my terminal connection from Dom0. After some research, I found another way: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo Which will disable driver

Hi Everyone, I am trying my hands on xen under Solaris SXCE build 113. The machine has the following configuration: 2 Quad Core Xeon CPUs 16 GB RAM Solaris SXCE b113 4 disks - 2 mirrors x 2 stripes under ZFS The problem is that xen HVM is very slow. I am using the following command to create an Ubuntu 9.0.4 test vm. virt-install -n test1 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 -f /vdatapool/data/test1.img -s 50

I have installed the 210 gplpv (debug), when I try to update them with current gplpv I get a BSOD even so when I try to uninstall them. Now I have made a bootentry that specifies NOGPLPV, what gives me a bootable system after such a crash, I found (uninstalling the leftover driver packages after getting bsod during uninstall of the main package) that uninstalling the net driver leads to bsod. Now

...emplate corruption, again BSOD on boot. Booting into safe mode works fine, so that led me to believe it could be driver related. I then performed a fresh install of windows from ISO, and that worked fine, UNTIL I installed the GPLPV drivers .. half way through the install, I got a BSOD with xenpci.sys being the offending file. It would seem I have hit some sort of internal limit maybe .. the host has plenty of RAM, the dom0 domain has plenty of RAM, and disk space is not an issue. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen...

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.
