Thanks a lot again for your work! I grabbed release 0.8.3 and tried 
it: The drivers install successfully but they do not seem to work on 
my system (see below). I have started with and without /gplpv but 
emulated Realtek card does not disappear. Also sometimes I get a BSOD 
when shutting down.

Test environment
- 2x Intel Xeon 5140
- Xen 3.2.0, 64bit
- Windows XP SP2, 32bit, 2 VCPUs

Let me know if you need more information.

Kind regards,

Stephan

Hi James,

I tried to use them, but I got a BSOD after the reboot (just after the
install).
It says : DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUALS (or something like that but the
error message doesn''t remain).
I am using windows 2003 on a 3.1.1 hypervisor.
Let me know if you want additionnal info.

Best regards,
Xavier.

I got that one today too, but on rebooting it worked again. Can you try
it a couple of times and let me know if it works at all?

There must be a race in there somewhere...

I tried several times, even in safe mode or debugging. Always the same
BSOD. In debugging mode, I managed to get the complete message:

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x3F3F3F47,0x00000016,OxOOOOOOOO,0xF726415C)

*** xenvbd.sys - address F726415C base at F7263000, DateStamp 47c25fb

I''ve found the problem I think - it was possible for an interrupt to
occur before we were ready for it. I''ll upload an update today if I get
time - your feedback will be appreciated!

Hi James,

I tried the 0.8.4 drivers and the BSOD disappeared.
Now, I think I forgot to configure something because when I try to boot
with /gplpv flag, windows wait indefinitely and when I try to do a xm
block-attach, a disk drive appears in error in device manager saying
that no driver is installed for this device (device instance id is
SCSI\DISK&VEN_XEN&PROD_PV_VBD&REV_0000\4&289B6434&0&000).

Let me know if you want other details.

Regards,
Xavier.
