RE: [Xen-users] RE: [Xen-devel] GPLPV drivers 0.9.12-pre9 upload
Dear James
My Windows 2003 32 with the latest drivers (0.9.12-pre9 ) has this error
after booting:
(Event Viewer)
Driver detected an internal error in its data structures for XenVbd
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: XenVbd
Any idea
Federico

Forgot one important thing. /GPLPV isn't required anymore. Use /NOGPLPV
to disable the device drivers, or boot into safe mode which will also
disable them.
