Hi James, I''m testing GPLPV 0.9.12-pre13 on Windows 2008 x64, and found some interesting results : - The drivers are NOT signed, even though I''ve install certs. Had to use F8 on boot. - both QEMU and Xen block device are active, which usually means corruption is coming. Is this a known issue? http://i44.tinypic.com/2vmypvk.png http://i42.tinypic.com/2mewnia.png Regards, Fajar

Hello list; I´ve updated my windows 2k3 GPLPV drivers from 0.9.9 to 0.9.12-pre13. But now, i have two xen block devices; (of course, one of them is not working and is marked with the yellow exclamation). How can i fix it, or how can i uninstall the GPLPV drivers in order to make a clean install? Thanks Juan Pablo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

I have a strange problem with these drivers. I have a host that has 31 VM''s running on it, all windows. They are running the same template, which has the latest GPLPV drivers installed. The problem occurred today when I went to add the 32nd VM, again from the same template. Now when the VM boots up I get a BSOD. I tried a different template to confirm that it was not template

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, I have a question about the switch /gplpv in boot.ini I see that some of the pv driver code is looking at this option; is there is any other piece of code that looks at this option before the drivers get loaded and perhaps change the bootpath or do something fancy? Thanks in advance, Udas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

I''ve just uploaded a couple of .bat files to http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/gplpv_uninstall_bat.zip that will manually (and forcibly) uninstall GPLPV from your computer, which seems to be necessary before doing upgrades from some versions. Run the uninstaller, reboot, then install. There is a 0.9.x and a 0.10.x uninstaller, which differ slightly, but the basic steps performed are:

QCOW2 disk image gets corrupted when you try to install Service Pack 1 AFTER installing GPLPV drivers. This means, without the pv drivers, everything works fine. I tested both RAW and QCOW2 without GPLPV drivers and the installation has completed without any error, and the image (at least qcow2) has no errors too. How to reproduce: - Install Windows 7 32-bit guest - Check the image with

Hi, Do the gplpv drivers work with stubdom? I''ve tried to get them working and posted to the mailing list for help but the only reply I got was a suggestion to use config settings which appear to allow the gplpv drivers to access the hd at the same time as the stubdom, which might work but isnt what I was after, have I misunderstood stubdom and there is no advantage to using gplpv

Hello. I have encountered a problem with GPLPV drivers for windows. It is similar (if not the same) as http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-users/2011-02/msg00709.html Host is running 14 virtual machines with Windows XP. When I''m trying to start 15-th windows VM it crashes with code 0x0000007b. Booting to safe mode or with /nogplpv works ok. 15-th VM works fine if

Hello, I have been testing James'' GPLPV drivers and found excellent performance when using iperf but have been having issues when trying to download a file from a shared folder on my Windows 2003 Enterprise HVM to any other system whether it is linux or windows. Basically my initial iperf tests were showing 937Mbits/sec down and 345Mbits/sec up but when I try to copy a 2GB file

I''m using W2K2 32bit on a 3.2.1 Lenny-amd64 host. While the pv disk driver works as expected, I encounter problems with the network driver. I tried several installation scenarios, all with the same result. My test looks like this: I install gplpv, but without letting the networking driver install. After reboot I RTL8139 ist still active and working, and gplpv devices manage the disks.

I just migrated a W2K3 Server to a Xen HVM domain, using the gplpv 0.10.69 drivers.

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 all, i''ve been trying for two days to get rid of the gplpv drivers on a W2003Sp2 machine. I''ve followed all kinds of tutorials and suggestions but there must be something I''m doing wrong because even after having gone through all the process I always end up with an "Unknown PCI Device" that wants to be installed every time I reboot (either with or without

1. Shouldn''t the GPLPV drivers take care of the (bad) clock drift I''m experiencing in my Windows XP HVM? Or is there some other way around this problem that I haven''t been able to find on Google? How can I tell if the GPLPV drivers are active? I''ve added the /gplpv switch to the boot.ini file and the virtual NIC is definitely using the GPLPV version but other

Hi. I have some new 64bit Windows 2008 R2 domU''s running on SLES11/xen_3.4.2. What is everyone using to get 1gb network performance on win2k8? I''ve used GPLPV on win2k3, but I see you have to sign the drivers yourself for 64bit. Maybe that process isn''t difficult, I only glance at the link from gplpv''s page. What is everyone using? GPLPV is about the only
