similar to: Disabling driver signature enforcement for Windows DomUs

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

Trying to install them on Xen 3.4.0, Intel E5345 Processors, Server 2008 64bit. I get the BSoD on boot with the 0x0000007B stop message. I''ve got a bunch of 2003 32bits running on the same host with the 0.10.0.69 drivers and those are totally happy. I tried the boot once with NOGPLPV idea mentioned in another thread, that didn''t do the trick. Ideas anyone? pace

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

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

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, my system is a XEN3.4.1 Dom0 Host System with a HVM Windows 2008 R2 machine. After installation of the GPLPV driver ("gplpv_fre_wnet_AMD64_0.10.0.130.msi"), and an Reboot the Windows Server 2008 R2 comes up and ends in a bluescreen, and immediately restarts. Testsigning is ON. What else can be done, or better what needs to be checked? Is there somebody who is facing the same

Hi all, after installing the driver ( I used the Vista-2008-Debug version) and rebooting, the system presents me an interface for recovering the OS using an image. I use Xen 3.3.1 Is there a workaround? Thanks and regards, Francesco Gallo _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com

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

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

Hi all, is there someone who has successfully installed GPLPV driver 0.10.0.130 on Windows 2008 Server R2? Thanks and regards, -- Francesco _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

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, 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 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

I have just uploaded a new testing version of GPL PV drivers for Windows. Have a look for 0.10.0.97-dontuse at http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads (the -dontuse bit is to scare people away who haven''t read this email :) As usual, please test thoroughly on a test DomU and make sure you have a backup before installing on a non-test system. In particular, I''m only testing with Xen

I guess I have stumbled upon a bug in gplpv drivers. If you try to re-enable an nic adapter after disabling it, it just hides out of blue. And you have to reboot. Latest version of gplpv drivers and Windows 2008 R2 here. Anyone else noticed the same issue? I wonder if this is related to hot-plugging something like

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
