[Xen-users] Easy way to remove GPLPV drivers version 0.9.10?

I have a new server built on SLES10SP2. None of my domU''s from my
SLES10SP1 host will start. They just sit at the Windows 2003 title
screen with the bar scrolling. I have a forum thread open on Novell''s
forums. The guy says it''s likely that the GPLPV drivers are causing the
problem, since their VMDP drivers cause a similar issue. 

So I want to try and uninstall them to see if it helps. I tried the
uninstall found in All Programs, but that didn''t work, at least not
completely. I also removed /GPLPV from the boot.ini, but they still seem
to load. 

Is there anyway to remove these without manually going through the
registry?

Does anyone believe this could be the problem? I have sles domU''s that
will not load X correctly. If I boot them to init3 they boot up. So
it''s
not just windows. 

Not sure what''s going on, but I''m totally frustrated now.
Really want to
get to a more recent version of xen, but I can''t get any of my
domU''s to
work. Company standard is sles, so I''m stuck there. 

Any help is really appreciated. 

Thanks,
James

Are you able to create a new Windows DomU without any PV drivers to test
if that works? (eg rule out a more general and non-gplpv related
problem)

Yes they will. It should be sufficient to just rename
windows\system32\drivers\xenpci.sys to
windows\system32\drivers\xenpci.sys.old and see if that happens. I think
there is a readme file in the gplpv install that documents how to
remove, but you do need to poke around in the registry.

You could try installing the latest version of GPLPV. Not sure if that
will help though. If they definitely don''t work I''d be
interested in
finding out why.

I have not created a plain old Windows domU on SP1 and tried to copy
that over to the new one. I''ll try to do that tomorrow. I have created
a
windows domU on the SP2 server and that works as you''d expect.

I actually used to have this documented myself, because I had to
manually remove the 0.8.8 version on several domU''s one time.
Can''t find
it though... :-(

I''ll keep you posted.

James,

Just an update on this. I found my win2k3 image with no gplpv drivers
and it loads fine on my sles10sp2 server. I found my doc for removing
gplpv manually, but my first attempt creating a machine that bsod''s
immediately. 

Any suggestions or thing you want me to try? Should I try installing the
latest?

Thanks,
James

James,

If I rename xenpci.sys to xenpci.sys.old and reboot, the domU gets an
immediately bsod, even trying to go to safe mode. 

My current server is running 3.0.4 of xen, so I''m afraid to try and
update gplpv drivers since your site says it crashed dom0 hard. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
James

AW: [Xen-users] How much room needed for MacOSX on Xen?

i don''t know if that is enough for macosx but please be aware of the
fact that you need at least ~2GB for a linux installation with graphical
support. so you might only have 7-6 gb depending on the size of your swap
partition..

infact i don''t know if it''s possible to virtualize mac os x
since it might be very hardware specific.

I think OS X will install in that, but it will be fairly tight (in 
terms of being useful) unless you are careful to customise the 
installation and leave out all the cruft that''s standard now.

Yes it is hardware specific, in particular they use the TPM to 
restrict it to only Apple hardware.

James,

For some reason your emails have been ending up in my Junk Email folder,
so apologies for the lack of response...

Where are you at now? If you want to remove, I''d start here
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv/Installing the text on
that page you will be interested in is:

Uninstalling

If you are upgrading from a pre-0.9.0 release, you will need to
completely purge the old drivers from your system.

    * Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    * Alter Enum\ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0\Control\ActiveService from
"XenHide"
to "ACPI"
    * You may find some registry keys/values need you to alter
permissions before you can edit/delete them.
    * Search for all occurences of UpperFilter or LowerFilter keys
containing xenhide.sys and delete them
    * Delete Services\Xen* (anything in Services starting with Xen)
    * Beware of keys/values which "co-incidentally" have xen in their
name such as xenroll.dlll and IVBSAXEntityResolver
    * Don''t remove any "Xen" keys/values under
HKLM/HARDWARE/ACPI
    * View files C:\Windows\inf\oem*.?nf in a text editor, delete all
that refer to xen or GPLPV
    * Delete the folders C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\xen*
    * Delete the files C:\Windows\System32\drivers\xen*.sys
    * Reboot, making sure not to select a boot entry that specifies
/GPLPV, if you are prompted to add drivers for new hardware at this
stage,

I know it says pre-0.9.0, but it still should apply.

James

My ip address got put into some RBLs, which is probably why they were
going into junk. Been routing my own mail for over 4 years and suddenly
now my ip address goes RBL because it a residential dynamic address.
Using my ISP for routing now so it should be good. 

I''ll try another remove tomorrow based on your steps and see if I have
better luck. 

Thanks,
James

[Xen-users] Missing eth0 in Domu

I have SUSE SP2 with Xen 3.2, but all my DomU''s are Centos 64 5.2. One
of my

   eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
yet the machine configuration file is identical to other VM''s that do
work.
Is there a part of the VM that I need to change to make it "find" the
device
eth0?

Re: [Xen-users] Missing eth0 in Domu

Hi Venefax,

First, as root in a shell on your dom0, run a "brctl show" and paste
the contents to the list.

Second,

    (device
        (vif
            (mac 00:16:3e:2c:88:81)
            (uuid 837dcbd1-61ab-fc78-a0f1-f8679e4688d9)
        )
    )

Should look more like this:

    (device
        (vif
            (bridge eth0)
            (mac 00:16:3e:2c:88:81)
            (script vif-bridge)
            (uuid 837dcbd1-61ab-fc78-a0f1-f8679e4688d9)
            (backend 0)
        )
    )

... This is under the assumption you are bridging eth0 from dom0 to
your domU''s.

Cheers,

Daniel

Hi Venefax,

First, as root in a shell on your dom0, run a "brctl show" and paste
the
contents to the list.

Second,



    (device
        (vif
            (mac 00:16:3e:2c:88:81)
            (uuid 837dcbd1-61ab-fc78-a0f1-f8679e4688d9)
        )
    )

Should look more like this:



    (device
        (vif
            (bridge eth0)
            (mac 00:16:3e:2c:88:81)
            (script vif-bridge)
            (uuid 837dcbd1-61ab-fc78-a0f1-f8679e4688d9)
            (backend 0)
        )
    )

... This is under the assumption you are bridging eth0 from dom0 to your
domU''s.

Cheers,
Daniel

RE: [Xen-users] Easy way to remove GPLPV drivers version 0.9.10?

James,

No joy on this. Following the doc I get the same bsod immediately on
reboot. 

Details on each step:
Done    * Open regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
Not found    * Alter Enum\ACPI_HAL\PNP0C08\0\Control\ActiveService from
"XenHide" to "ACPI"
    * You may find some registry keys/values need you to alter permissions
before you can edit/delete them.
None found    * Search for all occurences of UpperFilter or LowerFilter keys
containing xenhide.sys and delete them
Done    * Delete Services\Xen* (anything in Services starting with Xen)
    * Beware of keys/values which "co-incidentally" have xen in their
name such as xenroll.dlll and IVBSAXEntityResolver
    * Don''t remove any "Xen" keys/values under
HKLM/HARDWARE/ACPI
Done    * View files C:\Windows\inf\oem*.?nf in a text editor, delete all that
refer to xen or GPLPV - deleted all oem?...
Done    * Delete the folders C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE\xen*
Done    * Delete the files C:\Windows\System32\drivers\xen*.sys
Done    * Reboot, making sure not to select a boot entry that specifies /GPLPV,
if you are prompted to add drivers for new hardware at this stage,

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
James

RE: [Xen-users] Easy way to remove GPLPV drivers version 0.9.10?

James,

Just wanted to give you an update on this. I finally got all my other
domU''s moved so I could try more things. Updating my test machine to
the
latest released GPLPV drivers seemed to do the trick. I was able to move
it to sles10sp2 and it booted up. 

Thanks,
James
