Re: [Xen-users] Drivers for Win2k3 domU

James,
They wont get rid of the unknown device, at least they didnt for me. They 
actually introduced another.

Indeed, there are a few other devices introduced after loading the initial 
driver. As long as you're not
going to boot with /GPLPV the block devices are unused for the disks and cdrom 
drives present at boot time.

Stephan,
What did you do to get just the net driver installed? Any boot file mods? Do 
you just disable the original Realtek nic after?

I found it impossible to completely remove a nic from windows, so I'm using a 
workaround:

a) configure for vif for ioemu like
    vif = [ 'mac=12:34:56:78:ab:cd,type=ioemu,bridge=eth0' ]
b) install windows
c) install the windows pv drivers -> reboot and subsequent shutdown
d) reconfigure the vif like this
    vif = [ 'mac=12:34:56:78:ab:ef,type=netfront,bridge=eth0' ]
e) power up the guest

as well as there's a completely different nic available to windows, the former mac address (of the virtually removed realtek card) stays in windows (I assume something like udev ...) and remains unusable for other cards. so i'm changing the type AND the mac.

There might be better solutions, but for me this works ;)

Cheers
Stephan


Thanks,
