I''ve been having some problems with Windows HVM domains not shutting down cleanly. I have the latest GPLPV drivers installed... although that doesn''t appear to be related. The symptoms are exactly like this bug and it only occurs with xl. http://bugzilla.xen.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1769 In addition to that, it only seems to occur with a secondary graphics card being passed through. I end up with a null domain that I can''t shutdown. Killing the qemu-dm process with kill pid sorts that out though. I''m running dom0 kernel 2.6.32.50.

Konrad, thanks for the reply. No I haven''t tried the latest Xen. It''d be good to test that just to see whether this bug is still there. Also kernel 3.3 would be worth trying. I''ll get onto this next week and feedback.

Xen reports that there is an outstanding reference to one of the domain''s pages. It''s fairly short on my to-do list. I''ll send you an e-mail when I''ve got it fixed at my end, and you can see if it fixes it for you as well. P.S.: FYI, the convention on xen-devel is to reply in-line, not to top-post. :-) (Catches me out sometimes too.) -George> > Matt > > > On 6 April 2012 13:13, Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> wrote: >> >> On Fri, Apr 06, 2012 at 01:07:56PM -0700, Matthew Hook wrote: >> > I''ve been having some problems with Windows HVM domains not shutting >> > down >> > cleanly.
