Hello. I''m trying to get the lastest GPLPV binary (rev 238) working on an Ubuntu Server host with Xen 4, but I''ve got some problems. The guest is a 64 bit Windows 2008 R2. After enabling test mode and rebooting, installing and rebooting again (with /NOGPLPV) I can see all the Xen devices, but two (out of three) Xen Block Device Driver have an exclamation mark; I don''t know if this is normal or not. More reboots do nothing, they stay that way. The exclamation mark error is "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I''ve got two hard disks and a DVD ISO attached to the VM. So when I try to boot without /NOGPLPV I get the 0x0000007b BSoD. Rebooting directly from installation without /NOGPLPV produces a BSoD, too (I wasn''t sure and tested it both ways). Uninstalling the drivers, cleaning with the .bat for 0.10 and installing them again allows the system to boot without /NOGPLPV, but those two devices still have the exclamation marks, and further reboots result in BSoD. Apparently all vbds are using the same driver, so that''s odd. At first I thought this was because of that weird bug that makes GPLPV and tap:qcow fail, but I''m using tap:aio right now and it fails the same way.

I''ve noticed the exclamation point as well and was not able to remove them. If you run /NOGPLPV after you''ve installed the Xen PV drivers, you will not have any driver to run Windows OS, hence the BSOD.

I have encountered this a lot. I also have non-fixable exclaimations on my VBD drivers, but the system is working OK for me. (Win2k8-64 on xen under centos 56) The solution I have used to fix the 7B stop error was found here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314082 Importing the mergeide.reg as directed makes it so that it has some more default drivers available to it. I have had very positive success getting mergeide to get me past a 7B stop error. I however have not have as good luck installing GPLPV. Most servers I end up copying the INF and SYS files manually (the MSI rarely works 100% for me). Extract the MSI and right click the INF files and "Install" them manually. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of kcobler@coblercorp.com Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 9:44 AM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: Re: [Xen-users] Windows 2008 R2 64 bit BSoD Quoting Fernando Jiménez Solano <fernandojs@alumnos.upm.es>:> Hello. > > I''m trying to get the lastest GPLPV binary (rev 238) working on an > Ubuntu Server host with Xen 4, but I''ve got some problems.

Thanks for your answer.

Without /NOGPLPV I get BSoDs, I can only boot with /NOGPLPV. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Are you able to test with file: or phy: and see if the problem goes away using that?

The exclamation marks are gone, so I guess the one working was the DVD, which was indeed file:/. For some reason the second disk went offline and I had to turn it online again in Disk Management.
