Hi James,

I have the same problem with debian's "update-grub". Also on my system it 
orders my xen/kernel listing wrong. I don't think it's your mistake.

But as you said "2.6.18-5-xen...", this kernel is compiled against a xen 
3.0.3 patch, so it is maybe not what you want if you are using xen 3.1.x.

I patched my own kernel against a more recent xen 3.1.1 patch and this fixed 
some bugs for me. For example 32Bit-PV Guest on a 64Bit Kernel runs now 
like charm.

P.s.: I am very interessted in your PV Drivers, but I am not a windows 
developer at all. If your driver is available as binary for win xp or vista 
(32bit), I would really like to test it.

I tested the drivers from XenSource and Novell in the past (on a opensource 
xen hypervisor/kernel) and it never worked like expected. After installaing 
the novell driver my hvm-windows just stared directly into a bluescreen and 
with the xensource drivers there were actually some drivers installed, but 
the block-device didn't seem to work and my hvm guest always had 100% cpu 
utilisation after installing the driver (observerd with xm top), so these 
both drivers doesn't seem to work on an opensource xen installation.
