Hi, recently Ive installed Windows 2008 x64 HVM domain on Xen 4.0. On xen wiki is info: Support for Citrix WHQL-certified Windows PV drivers, included in XCP (Xen Cloud Platform). Xen Cloud Platform: So I installed them on Windows 2008 x64 domain and its not able to boot anymore: File: \windows\system32\Drivers\xevtchn.sys Status: 0xc0000428 Info: Windows cannot verify the digital

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16

During some discussions and handwaving, including discussions with some experts on the Xenserver/XCP storage architecture, we came up with what we think might be a plausible proposal for an architecture for communication between toolstack and driver domain, for storage at least. I offered to write it up. The abstract proposal is as I understand the consensus from our conversation. The concrete

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. The vast majority of the code is in second patch. The first patch merely changes the xenstore key name used by hvmloader to store the buffer address.

Intercepting this MSR is pointless - The swapgs instruction does not cause a vmexit, so the cached result of this is potentially stale after the next guest instruction. It is correctly saved and restored on vcpu context switch. Furthermore, 64bit Windows writes to this MSR on every thread context switch, so interception causes a substantial performance hit. From: Paul Durrant

The following is a revised patch series to add support for a VM generation ID virtual device for HVM guests. The basic requirements of this device are as follows: - It must be exposed somewhere in ACPI namespace with a _CID of "VM_Gen_Counter". - It must also include a _DDN of "VM_Gen_Counter". - It must contain a _HID object but no particular value is required. - It must

Some old Windows frontends fail to transition through the xenbus Closing state and move directly from Connected to Closed. Handle this case properly.

This patch series adds support for preservation of the VM generation ID buffer address in xenstore across save/restore and migrate, and also code to increment the value in all cases except for migration. Patch 1 modifies the guest ro and rw node creation to an open coding style and cleans up some extraneous node creation. Patch 2 modifies creation of the hvmloader key in xenstore and adds

The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero, and M bit is not set).

Hi, My name is Jose and I work at Google on the Ganeti project. I am using Xen 4.0. I would like to ask your advice on what you think is the best way to send data between the guest and the host, for example, the guest OS tells Ganeti that it wants to be reinstalled at reboot time. Even a simple integer suffices for our purposes. We have considered adding a new device, such as, a char/block

Dear List, I?m trying to figure out *memory page sharing***using HVM on Xen 4.0.1, but I?m not really able to find some useful information or sources about this issue. I just found two links porviding these sources: http://knol.google.com/k/learning-grant-tables http://blog.chinaunix.net/space.php?uid=20286427&do=blog&id=109114 Both are not working.. I think they are made for an older

This patch series adds the ability to selectively disable the S3 and S4 ACPI power states for HVM guests. Since there is a general move towards retiring the hvm_info_table structure, the first patch moves the acpi_enabled flag out of the hvm_info_table and into a xenstore key (platform/acpi). The second patch then introduces the acpi_s3 and acpi_s4 configuration parameters to the xl config file

These patch update Windows generation ID support on ACPI. First patch mainly update to new specifications while second one introduce again the device in ACPI table.

Hi, I tried using win-pvdrivers 0.8.4 on German Windows XP Pro SP2. Xen is 3.1, comes with Ubuntu 7.10. Everything seems to work well except the shutdown monitor. If I run shutdownmon.exe on the command line, windows gives an error message stating it could not initialize shutdownmon.exe correctly. Parameters passed to shutdownmon.exe don''t have any influence on the error. The original
