Xen users - Oct 2008 - Win2003+xen3.2.1: GPLPV paradrivers bluescreen - any idea why?

Greetings.
My setup:

Architecture: x86_64, 
XEN: xen 3.2.1, 
Dom0: Centos 5.2 , 
Kernel: 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen kernel, 
DomU:  Win2003 Server.

I have tried the GPLPV Paravirtualized drivers vv. 9.10 and 9.11-pre17, and
I always end up staring at the famous Blue Screen.
The halt codes are:

STOP: 0x0000007B (0XF885EA94,0xC0000034,0x00000000)

Driver installation completes, and the newly installed drivers show up as
conflicting (with a yellow bang icon) beffore booting with the /gplpv option. 

What am I missing? Any clue? Any help greatly appreciated.

Advanced thanks & Cheers,
alf

How much memory?

32 or 64 bit Windows?

Can you try -pre18 (just uploaded yesterday), although I don''t think
it''s going to help.

Can you tell me more about what is conflicting?

Thanks

James

Is there a better way then clicking on all drivers/tabs etc...? As far
as I remember, most reported a resource conflict.

I need to know what resource is conflicted.

Do you have apic disabled? That will cause the problem you are seeing.
Remove any line ''apic=0'' from your config file.

It really doesn''t say (unless I am looking in the wrong place: am I?).
The driver property page says there is a code 12 resource conflict (I''d
post the exact message, but this particular machine speaks Italian, so
it wouldn''t be much use). The resource pane just says that another
driver needs to be stopped/disable in order to load this
one.

I don''t have any. To be on the safe side,  I tried to stuck an
''apic=1''
line in there, but no joy.

Have you upgraded your Windows 2003 R2 Server to a Service Pack 2 (and via
Windows updates too) before install the GPLPV drivers?

I forgot to mention that. I use a call in the GPLPV drivers which is
only supported under Windows 2003 sp2 and above (the R2 bit doesn''t
make
any difference in this case).

Greetings.

A few answers:

o) Yes, running SP2...
o) ...and pre-18 drivers make no difference....
o) ... and the most I can tell you about used IRQs are the ones for the
primary (14) and secondary (15) IDE  channels (but these are well known
methinks). As stated before, the property page for the SCSI/PCI driver
says "Not enough resources. You have to unload another driver etc." If
there is another way to find the info you need, I will have to be
supplied with a click-by-click "idiot guide"...

Thanks & cheers,
alf
