Re: [win-pv-devel] v9.0.0 released

Can someone post a log of the qemu output (with xen_platform_log in the events 
file) so we can see what the PV drivers are doing?
By that you mean contents of '/root/events' with 'device_model_args=[ "-trace", "events=/root/events" ]' in the vm configuration?


I generally do most of my testing against the latest Xen (i.e. 4.13). 4.8 
should be fine though; the main differences from a Windoows PoV would be in the 
viridian enlightenment code, but that's orthogonal to the PV driver interfaces.
I'm running 4.13

I've trimmed out the cruft from the config I normally used and attached it. (I 
also normally boot Xen with a grant frame limit of 128, i.e. 4x the default).

Håkon, this is what prompted me to ask everyone what cfg is being used
with these new drivers in case it's a conflict caused by a flag/option I'm
using.

Paul, since these work for you, can you please share what you're using to
ensure we're not using something in conflict?

On another note, is there a specific xen version we should be using?

# rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-libs-4.8.5.75.g4c666a7e15-1.el7.x86_64
xen-ovmf-20160905-1.gitbc54e50e0.el7.x86_64
xen-hypervisor-4.8.5.75.g4c666a7e15-1.el7.x86_64
centos-release-xen-common-8-7.el7.centos.x86_64
xen-licenses-4.8.5.75.g4c666a7e15-1.el7.x86_64

     Same here. Restored disk image from backup and tried again, and got
same
     second time. Left it for a day, still spinning. After destroying it,
at
     some point  I got "Can not access boot device" in the middle of that
     pale blue screen. Trying to roll back using recovery point fails.
(That
     is the extent of the error message, just restore failed) . It /does/
     show me the possible points I can revert to though, so it looks like
it
     is working until it doesen't. For the record I also uninstalled old
     drivers first. First time around I also removed the Spice-thingy,
     leaving only Qemu. Second time around I left both the Qemu and Spice
     stuff in.

     Going back to that image is rather painful, as the disk image takes
     forever to copy to a new partition, and the backup I have is several
     windows-updates old, and insist on running a backup first thing when
it
     gets moving :-/ .

     Did a chkdsk from the installation-iso (which boots nicely with the
same
     config, except for "boot='dc'"). Found some minor nits w\chkdsk. Am
now
     trying to boot into safemode minimal. Not even a spinner showing,
     "Times" column in the "xl list" display increases by about 0.4 every
     second, so it is doing /something/ ...
