Hi XEN-Community, I''m trying to build the actual version of the XEN gplpv (win-pv) drivers. I use the a Windows XP machine with the WinDDK 7600.16385.1 and Wix 3.0 like suggested in the BUILD.txt The building process itself seems to be working, at least there are no compiler error. (I just made the "makedist") Instead, the final *.msi files and the drivers itself are nowhere

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 (booting and running without crashes so far). I

I certainly saw the issue with the non-APIC HAL, but I don''t see any performance or CPU issues with the APIC MP HAL. -Nick -----Original Message----- From: Venefax <venefax@gmail.com> To: ''James Harper'' <james.harper@bendigoit.com.au>, ''Oliver Wilcock'' <oliver@owch.ca>, xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Xen GPL

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.

I''ve just put up the latest release of the GPLPV drivers for Windows. This release involved a fairly big rewrite of the stuff that talks to Windows as I changed from WDF to WDM. WDF is a newer framework from Microsoft which makes it easier to write drivers as a lot of the state management stuff is done for you. It also means shipping a great big dll around with the drivers (note the

Hi Is it true that the GPLPV drivers is incompatible with QCOW images? The Windows DomU works fine with raw standard "file:/" images, and paravirtualized Linux DomU works fine with QCOW and raw images. 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

Hi, I am at a complete loss of ideas here: I have a - xen3.3.1 hypervisor compiled from source with - dom0 being 2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 kernel from debian/lenny repository with - windows 2008 64bit as hvm guest. I use the gplpv drivers 0.10.0.69 from James Harper. The included files (xenpci.sys and xennet.sys) are apparently test-signed, so applying test-signing as boot option does enable

Hello ! I''m trying hard to make gpl xen pv drivers  work in windows 2000 server. I have edited all inf files as described by James Harper and successfully installed all drivers, but when i boot with /gplpv i get the same  bsod that Kris Adler got.  I am running  xen  3.2.1 on gentoo with kernel 2.6.21. I have tested it several times with all versions of xen pv drivers ( last

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

Hi, I''ve noticed that on a Xen cluster with three nodes (two E5620 CPUs and one E5140 CPU) live migration works perfectly in between to two E5620 nodes, but fails to and from the E5140. The error message is about a HVM context not being able to be set. I strongly suspect the use 238 GPPVL drivers, but I cannot uninstall them at this point because someone else needs the server. Could

A user has pointed out a problem with GPLPV 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

I''ve just uploaded a new binary release of the GPL PV drivers for Windows - release 0.6.3. Fixes in this version are: . Should now work 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
