[win-pv-devel] Windows 10 domU is unstable with PV Bus Driver

["Michel D'HOOGE" <michel.dhooge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

This is my first post here so please forgive me if I missed something
obvious… But I've been searching for a while :-/

So, my Windows 10 domU is stable as long as I don't install the PV drivers.
I couldn't install version 8.2.1 of the PV drivers, so in July I tried
the test version from http://xenbits.xen.org/pvdrivers/win/. It worked
well for a while but last month it started to reboot from times to
times (I'd say after a "big" Windows upgrade).
I uninstalled all PV drivers and the OS was stable again. So yesterday
I tried again with the latest versions of the PV driver and I managed
to install xenbus and xenvbd before it got unstable again.
Painfully I managed to remove everything and it's back to stable.

I can live without the PV drivers (especially given the time I've lost
trying to use them compared to the benefit!) but it's a bit of a pity
and I'd like to understand.
Is there something I can try to debug that?

Thank you for your help
Michel
