Well, I went ahead and "bit the bullet", and uninstalled xennet, xenvbd (2x), and xenstub (2x) after having rebooted w/o /gplpv. Then I rebooted w/ /gplpv. Unfortunately, I forgot to erase the same c: \windows\system32\drivers\xen*.sys files, and windows just reinstalled xenvbd automatically (but only asked for the others). The keyboard was still unfunctional with only xenhide, xenpci, and xenvbd installed. Each time I booted w/ /gplpv, and went to reboot, I got the previously reported BSOD: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE [...] *** STOP: 0x0000009F (0x00000500,0x00000002,0x82592730,0x825C7E50) (no driver name mentioned) I then rebooted w/o /gplpv, and erased everything but xenpci and xenhide, then rebooted w/ /gplpv, and got the non-specific BSOD: *** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8AB5524,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) so it doesn't look like I'll be able to test your request. One other bit of oddness. While I was uninstalling the drivers and rebooting, Event Viewer complained about a boot-start driver that failed to load: XenEnum!, even tho' Device Manager correctly reported that all installed drivers were 0.9.1, and the others were correctly reported as uninstalled. I assume the Registry is keeping a history of previous drivers, and tried to look for old ones (such as from the list of drivers presented in the Hardware Wizard when you select Have A Disk). Now, with all the drivers installed back, Event Viewer only complains about the parallel port driver and isapnp not loading. And the 'hidden' device VgaSave also has a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager. (All when booted w/ /gplpv.) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
