Xen users - Nov 2009 - GPLPV driver problems with Win2k8-R2

Hi all,

 

after installing the driver ( I used the Vista-2008-Debug version) and
rebooting, the system presents me an interface for recovering the OS using
an image.

 

I use Xen 3.3.1

 

Is there a workaround?

 

Thanks and regards,

Francesco Gallo

Hehehe. I thought I was the only one :D
First of all, there seems to be some change in r2 compared to win2008
so that pressing F8 by default does not display "safe mode" or
"disable driver signature enforcement". You need one of them. Safe
mode would disable GPLPV, while disabling driver signature will allow
GPLPV to work. I don''t know how to get it when it''s already in
your
state. Maybe others can help you.

When installing GPLPV on a fresh installation, you need to disable
driver signature enforcement. One way to do it is with dseo
(http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo). You need to do this BEFORE
installing GPLPV.

Another way to do it is to first add another entry to windows 2008
boot menu so that while displaying the boot menu you''d have the chance
to press F8 and disable driver signature enforcement manually. See
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv/Installing (search
for bcdedit), but use "NOGPLV" instead of "GPLPV".

Just to be clear about this:

- Disable the driver signature enforcement using any of the methods
- Reboot _before_ installing GPLPV. This is important step.
- Install GPLPV only after you have first rebooted the guest.
- Don''t reboot before all the GPLPV drivers are installed and devices
  detected. You might need to rescan the hardware from device manager to
  make that happen.
- Reboot the guest only when GPLPV is fully installed.

Ah yeah, I forgot about that.
Do you also know how to recover from the already "broken" r2
installation? I can''t seem to find a way to enter safe mode.

Yeah.. the reboot before installing GPLPV is required because then
the driver signature enforcement gets disabled for real. bcdedit
doesn''t
change/disable it on the fly :)
