So I successfully installed the GPLPV drivers in a Windows installation I have running under Xen.  Turns out SP2 is needed - I wish this was slightly better documented somewhere, as the machine ended up bluescreening and I had to use /NOGPLPV to get it to boot again so I could upgrade it to SP2.

My question is this: I ended up using 'disable' in device manager for the rtl8139 and the old IDE driver as for some reason Windows still seems to be detecting that the devices are around.  Windows was also complaining on boot that it couldn't initialize the drivers.

Is this the correct way to handle it or am I doing something wrong?  Why is it doing that?  I adjusted my vif= line to take out the ioemu part of it, so I don't think that is why.

Daniel
