similar to: GPLPV drivers update

Hello, I''m working on building my master 2008 template. I can run "bcdedit /set testsigning on" and the GPLPV drivers work great - nice work James Harper! I''m a bit new to working with Windows images, but it appears the standard thing to is to run "sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown" and then backup the image for later duplication. The problem comes

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

We have a 10Gbps connection to our server so I need to be able to create VMs using the faster e1000 nics instead of the default Realtek 100Mbps ones but I''m not sure how to go about it. Is there a walkthrough or "howto" or can someone point me at some simple instructions? I''m using xen-3.0.3-105.el5_5.5 and Centos 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5.centos.plusxen VMs are

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

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''ve just made my first ever attempt at an Nullsoft installer, so if you want to try it download "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.5.exe" from http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/ The installer should detect the version of windows you are running and install the drivers. At the moment you''ll need to install the shutdown monitor service manually, but you can do that from the start

Hi all I''m trying to install drivers GPLPV. The installation process stops and does nothing. (Here is a screenshot http://www.picshare.ru/view/171508/). I tried to install versions 0.11.0.308 and 0.11.0.357. For 32-bit and 64-bit systems Windows XP, Windovs Vista and Windows 7. Everywhere the same effect. Can anybody help me? -- Best regards Valery V.Smirnov

Hello James, I am doing quite rigorous torture tests with Xen and GPLPV. Let me first repeat the test setup: Use Xen 4.1.1 and kernel 2.6.32.36 (commit ae333e9). Configure 2 HVMs called VM1 and VM2 as follows (per HVM): 2 VCPUs, 2 virtual disks, 1024 MB RAM, viridian=1 Install Windows 2008 R2 SP1, do install everything twice - never clone. Install GPLPV, iometer 2006.07.27, prime95 26.6 x64,

Hi, During the install of the univention.de-signed GPLPV drivers (gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.308.msi) on my Windows 7 guest, I get a BSOD "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" in xenvbd.sys. Afterwards, Windows won''t start. I''m now trying to do a System Restore. I will try not installing the VBD driver afterwards and see if the others do work. Full BSOD:

I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre7. save/restore should be working for 32 bits on both SMP and UP, and maybe for 64 bits although it''s not tested. If someone could test migration it would be much appreciated. The installer seems to not install the drivers under 64 bit environment... but they can then be installed manually. Not sure why at this point.

What is the state of GPLPV and Windows 8? I am currently running tests with Windows 8 and GPLPV rev956 and operations (disk IO, net IO) look good. There seems to be a problem with shutdown/reboot where Windows hangs somewhat and displays a warning about improper shutdown on next reboot. Regards Andreas

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
