Re: [Xen-users] PV- Drivers for Windows (XP, 2003 Server)

["Emre Erenoglu" <erenoglu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to clarify, as far as I know up until today, without a commercial product, none of the downloadable PV drivers for HVM Windows will work. They always require some interface between the driver and the "commercial" product.

You cannot install xen from xen.org (open-source version) and use these downloadable drivers.

Your only chance is to try the open-source drivers that  James initiated. Please search for it in the mail archives.

Yes, it is commercial, but free downloadable.

But these drivers are also commercial, aren't they?

 

Thanks,

You can search for the Open Source HVM drivers, but I don't think anything stable has come out, yet.  The only other PV drivers that I know about for Windows are commercially available (read: NOT free) - these are Novell's PV drivers for Windows and NetWare, and XenSource's PV drivers.  Again,  both of those are commercial products - in Novell's case you must purchase SLES10 to get the PV driver pack.  Not sure about the XenSource ones...

hallo everybody,

i googled a lot of time, looking for PV-drivers for Windows- domUs.

I found a few things about that, but nothing about download an installation.

Do anybody know, where I can get it and how to install?

 

My configuration:

Dom0: CentOS 5.1

DomUs: Windows XP and 2003 Server

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Guenter
