I''ve just uploaded 0.9.11-pre12 of the GPL PV drivers for Windows. Since -pre10 (and -pre11) I''ve fixed a heap of crashes that were plaguing xennet under load, and also rewritten the interrupt/event distribution logic to improve performance. Under windows 2003 I can now get network speeds of 1-2Gbit/second TX and 600Gbit/second RX, which is considerably better than I was

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

Hello ! I''m trying hard to make gpl xen pv drivers  work in windows 2000 server. I have edited all inf files as described by James Harper and successfully installed all drivers, but when i boot with /gplpv i get the same  bsod that Kris Adler got.  I am running  xen  3.2.1 on gentoo with kernel 2.6.21. I have tested it several times with all versions of xen pv drivers ( last

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''m now at the stage where I can think about writing some PV block drivers for Windows. I have working event channel and xen store subsystems (but they''ll probably need some more refinement once things progress), and the Windows XenPCI driver enumerates devices as they are added to xenstore. This leaves me with a few questions... 1. I assume that the qemu virtual BIOS uses the

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

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

If I understand correctly, a HVM domain''s network adapter gets a tapX device created for it in Dom0 for qemu to talk to, and a vifY.Z device for the PV drivers (which probably aren''t there) to talk to. How can I stop the qemu code creating the virtual Realtek driver? What will happen if I try and use PV and Realtek drivers at the same time? Will the Realtek driver just talk to

Hello, I am using Windows XP/2003 and 2008 under Xen. What is the correct version of gpl pv drivers for Windows under Centos 5.4 Dom0 ? rpm -q xen said 3.0.3.x but xen info said 3.1.x Regards,

I''ve just uploaded 0.10.0.50 which fixes a few bugs related to high network load (BSoD''s & packet corruption). It should upgrade any previous 0.10.x.x. Additionally, I''ve also uploaded uninstall_0.9.x.txt (rename it to .bat) which will uninstall 0.9.x drivers. After running that, reboot and they should be gone. Please do a backup first though as I have only tested

hallo everybody, i googled a lot of time, looking for PV-drivers for Windows- domUs. I found a few things about that, but nothing about download an installation. Do anybody know, where I can get it and how to install? My configuration: Dom0: CentOS 5.1 DomUs: Windows XP and 2003 Server Thanks for any help, Guenter _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

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
