[Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Release 0.8.7 of GPL PV drivers for Windows

Thanks for your reply,

I was not really clear, the hypervisor is amd64, the W2k3 SBS HVM domU is i386.

After a few installations, i skipped the install.bat and tried the former way
of installing each device manually. I did accidently choose winxp (instead of
winnet) and the xenpci device has been initialized. After seeing my fault, I
installed all subsequent drivers from winxp, but the result was also not having
any netfront available.

Please ask, if you need more specific details.

Cheers,

Stephan

Okay I've definitely fixed a bug that would cause the BSoD I was
seeing,
so I'm trying again.

i've tried 0.8.7 upon a freshly installed W2k3 SBS Server (german).
Xen Version is 3.2.0 amd64.

Hmmm... I'll see if I can test amd64 again tonight. I've only been
testing with i386 recently.

After running install.bat, the system starts with a msg. like "At
least
one Service could not by started" (i didn't investigate by now, but I
assume this is the XenShutdown).

XenShutdown will probably fail if XenPCI isn't running.

The netfront vif's are completely missing, Hardware list shows one
"unknown device" remaining in "other devices" (before installation
there were two of them), then "Xen PCI Device" has a warning mark and
"Could not be initialized".

Yep. If XenPCI isn't working then nothing else will work.

Booting into /gplpv results in a BSOD.

Probably 0x7B which means boot device inaccessible. This presumably
means that xenhide is working and hiding your qemu devices, and because
xenpci isn't working you have nothing to boot off.

Looks like this build has some significant problems ;)

I'd like to find out if it's an amd64 problem or a Germen language
problem. What media are you using? This seems to be a big enough problem
that it's probably worth investigating... I have installed Windows
enough times that I shouldn't even need to read the screens :)

James
