[Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Release 0.8.7 of GPL PV drivers for Windows

[Stephan Seitz <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply,

I was not really clear, the hypervisor is amd64, the W2k3 SBS HVM domU is i386.

After a few installations, i skipped the install.bat and tried the former way
of installing each device manually. I did accidently choose winxp (instead of
winnet) and the xenpci device has been initialized. After seeing my fault, I
installed all subsequent drivers from winxp, but the result was also not having
any netfront available.

Please ask, if you need more specific details.

Cheers,

Stephan
