after a loooong procedure, of activating and upgrading to SP2, I 
successfully installed the GPLPV drivers version: 0.9.11-pre17.

All the new devices have now the Xen driver when I checked after a reboot, 
but not the Disk. The disk renamed from QUEMU disk to Xen disk, but when 
I look at the used driver its from Microsoft. However, the SCSI block device
driver is using the Xen driver, so I'm not sure right now, whether this
is correct with the disk, or not.

thanks a lot for your fast help.

Sebastian
