I think I have a related issue. I have the latest GPLPV drivers, and Windows 2003 with 4GB of ram. Unless I set PAE=0 and APIC=0, it blue screens. If I set those two options than it works, but I wonder if I will have a performance hit or it does not matter. My VM''s have 8 virtual processors each. The host has 16 cores.

It definitely wasn''t the kernel though. Try using this http://www.meadowcourt.org/downloads/xen-3.2-1-svmfix-amd64.gz as your hypervisor and see if the problem goes away.

I have found and fixed a problem and am uploading a fixed version. This fixed version though contains a bunch of changes to the xenbus code which isn''t well tested, but appears to work. Please only use it if you are using Vista/2008, which appear to always run with PAE enabled if it''s available, and therefore uses 64 bit addressing. Despite an earlier email, shutdownmon does actually appear to work under this version. The exe is called "Xen PV Drivers 0.9.12-pre10-dont-use.exe". I put the -dont-use bit there to discourage anyone from trying it just because it''s there :) Please let me know if that does or doesn''t fix your problems.

Windows 2003 appears to only enable pae when it is required (eg when you have more than about 3.5G of memory), but from the information I have been getting it appears that Vista and 2008 enable it always. Do you have a copy of windows 2008 you can try? I will test that shortly but I would like to know if it behaves the same way as Vista for you...

I''ve fixed the problem and am just about to upload -pre11. If you have (foolishly :) installed the -preXX version of these drivers on a windows 2008/Vista production system without doing a test on a test system first, let me know and I''ll email some instructions on making it right again.

The emulated devices are still listed in device manager on my vista vm, and the cdrom is still PV rather than qemu, I am investigating... could be a problem with the gentoo ebuild I used to compile 3.3.1 rc4.

In my vista hvm the Intel IDE and Realtek NIC are still visible, and cdrom is XEN PV not ioemu/qemu.
