Hi James :),
On 3 slices, all W2003 built from the same base, the PV drivers

of my Windows settings appear to save over a reboot. This includes
settings such as network (IP, etc..) and services (disabled, etc...).
What device backend are you using? (eg phy: file: tap:aio etc)

Physical. Backend is an LVM slice.
With the XP instance, I changed to xvda from hda once I had the
drivers installed and noticed it appeared that would work :).
I did not change away from phy: on the W2003 instances.

Tried changing from hda to xvda. This resulted in continuous boot,
install driver, reboot, install driver.... and sometimes blue screen on
boot :(.
So then changed phy:/ to tap:aio/ and first boot it installed the
driver, but since then... it's looking good. Not asking for the driver
to be installed and settings are staying changed.
So, why is phy:/ wrong, and isn't phy:/ considered faster then aio:tap:/ ?
Now I need to find some benchmark to run to show the affect of the new
drivers :).
