similar to: Ubuntu HVM installation is very slow

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

So I successfully installed the GPLPV drivers in a Windows installation I have running under Xen. Turns out SP2 is needed - I wish this was slightly better documented somewhere, as the machine ended up bluescreening and I had to use /NOGPLPV to get it to boot again so I could upgrade it to SP2. My question is this: I ended up using ''disable'' in device manager for the rtl8139 and

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

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

Hello. I''m trying to get the lastest GPLPV binary (rev 238) working on an Ubuntu Server host with Xen 4, but I''ve got some problems. The guest is a 64 bit Windows 2008 R2. After enabling test mode and rebooting, installing and rebooting again (with /NOGPLPV) I can see all the Xen devices, but two (out of three) Xen Block Device Driver have an exclamation mark; I don''t

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

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

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.

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

Hi everyone since I''m currently migrating from xm to xl and now are also a victim of the said error, I started researching on it and found that many people had the issue but not many found solution and behind this BSOD (=Bluescreen of Death), there are actually multiple errors in hiding. What I would like to do is gather as much info as possible in this thread to form a kind of

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: important Tags: patch Hi, I'm having troubles with windows 2008 server with HVM on XEN. When I allocate more than one CPU to the Windows VM, windows crashes after a few minutes with a BSOD. Other people have this problem, too. The Exact error message (BSOD) is: (the unique lines) A clock interrupt was not received on a

Hey Everyone, Anyone know what the procedure is for disabling GPLPV on Windows 7? Regards David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have a Win2K3 domU (and thankfully an image backup of the LVM volume that holds its system disk) I previously installed GPLPV v0.8.9 drivers, the domU boots OK with or without the /GPLPV switch in boot.ini, however with the /GPLPV switch it tries and fails to use the Xen network driver, and so the machine is network-less, so for the past few months I''ve left it using pure HVM

Hi, I just installed gplpv drive for my windows 2003 domU, but not sure if it works right, in my device manager, there is a unknown pci device, do you know what''s that? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

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

Hey guys, I''m trying to get a gentoo dom0 running on some new Nehalem boxes. Our dozen or so existing servers run a xenified 2.6.21, but we can''t get the new Intel network chipset working with it. So, I''m giving a pv_ops dom0 from xen-tip/master a go, and Xen 3.4.1 to go with it. rebase/master is a bit too bleeding edge for me. So far, it''s working great.

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?

A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir

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
