[Xen-users] Windows GPLPV 0.9.12 Pre13 Upgrade Yellow Exclamations
Hi Everyone, Just upgraded a Server 2K3 SP2 32Bit test box running GPLPV 0.9.12 Pre4 driver to 0.9.12 Pre 13 drivers but things seem to have gone a bit weird. I changed the boot.ini so the first line was as normal and the second had /nogplpv on the end (I think this is correct for the newer drivers). I now have version 0.9.11.13 showing as the Network driver version and this device looks fine for my 2 para nics but I also have 2 Realtek NICs with yellow exclamations, deleting and restarting them just causes them to reappear. The Intel IDE controller also has a yellow exclamation although the Xen PV Disk SCSI Disk Device looks fine. My config file does not have the IOEMU line for the NICs and worked with the Pre4 driver. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks, Rob The SAQ Group Registered Office: 18 Chapel Street, Petersfield, Hampshire GU32 3DZ SAQ is the trading name of SEMTEC Limited.

Any idea what the problem might be?Thats how it works now, there is a patch for qemu which allows the drivers to control if the emulated devices are used or not, if you search the list archives for "device hiding" you should find it, but the devices should''nt cause any problems so you can just ignore them. If you try the patch and it works please let me know, it didnt work for me.

There is a patch you can apply to Xen 3.3.1 (might apply against 3.3.0 too) that will hide the drivers at the xen level, otherwise you''ll just have to ignore them.

The patch applied cleanly apart from the very last hunk which was already applied. Could you post the patch again? I will try it again soon.

Does the patch hide the emulated devices from all VMs? (I.e. is suitable for use on Dom0s system where some DomUs are para and some are not?) I will likely do a custom 3.3.1 compile in the next few weeks.
