[Xen-users] GPLPV and dhcp should it work?

[Silviu Paragina <silviu@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My problem:
I have
- a xen ubuntu 9.04 with xen from the repository (3.3.0 with some 
patches) and the debian kernel
- windows 2008 server guest with the attached config
- dhcp3 server with the attached config

If I leave everything as is (without gplpv) everything works great.
If I install gplpv and remove type=ioemu from the config the machine can 
not get the ip, but if I manually set the ip address it works fine.
On the dhcp server side I get "dhcpd: 5 bad udp checksums in 5 packets"

I have tried Checksum offloading from properties on the xen network 
device with no luck. I shall try again anyhow (I might have missed 
something, because I had other issues with xen at the time).
Also on another note the iso image, attached as a cdrom, vanishes after 
I install the drivers, but this doesn't matter much.
Searching with google I have found a few sites some that say this is 
solved, some that say to disable Checksum offloading, but all sites I 
have found refer to the 0.9.x version of the drivers, so I'm not sure of 
anything. Is this how they are supposed to act?
