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

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

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

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

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

Hi, DomU is a Win2008 R2 64 When i install the GPLPV drivers the network latency goes from 15ms to random numbers up to 1200ms and eventually dies. If you run a ping from the DomU to another host the network stays alive but the high latency is still there. Further more if i try and uninstall the network driver i am unable to use the old one (realtek) as it cannot detect the device.

I am using a standard Centos 5.4 setup, with kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 and xen 3.1.2-164.11.1.el5. I have just succeed in migrating an existing XP to this setup and installed successfully gplpv 0.11.0.213. On an other 2003 VM, I am using 0.10.0.134 since several months without any problem. Looking at http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/, it seams there is a lot of version in that

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.

This may be a better question for the Xen-Devel list, but I''ll start here... Does anyone know if there is any easy way to replace the gPXE ROM with a newer version in Xen? Also, anyone know if there are any plans to have some sort of option in the domU config file to specify a boot rom? Looks like qemu-dm has an "-option-rom" option - is there any way in Xen to make use of

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

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

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

When trying to use the GPL PV drivers with Windows 7 x64 (and testsigning turned on), I get a BSOD with a STOP 0x00000101 error. There''s also an error at the top that says "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval." Is this STOP error related to the HPET or other timing adjustments for Xen? Any advice on things I should

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

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

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

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 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
