Re: [Xen-users] Re: Xen 4.0 - Support for Citrix WHQL-certified Windows PV drivers

[benco <benco@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm also trying to use Citrix PV drivers for Windows (from XCP 0.1.1 and
0.5 RC3) instead of GPLPV drivers. I have both Xen 4.0.0/kernel 2.6.32.11
and Xen 4.0.1 (latest RC) with kernel 2.6.32.15. VM's are Win2003,
Win2008R2_x64  and Win7x64.

The only semi-working setup is Win2003Server on Xen 4.0.1 with Citrix PV
driver from XCP 0.1.1. After driver installation I see working PV DISK and
PV Ethernet devices, two other devices (XEN\console and XEN\vfb) are
unrecognized.

Other combinations:

* Xen 4.0.[0-1]/PV driver 0.5/Win2008 - unable to boot, stop on progress bar
* Xen 4.0.[0-1]/PV driver 0.1.1/Win2008 - boot only into safe mode
* Xen 4.0.[0-1]/PV driver 0.5/Win2003 - unable to boot, stop on boot screen
* Xen 4.0.[0-1]/PV driver 0.5/Win7 - unable to boot, stop on boot screen
* Xen 4.0.[0-1]/PV driver 0.1.1/Win7 - \Windows\System32\DRIVERS\xevtchn.sys
  error at the beginning of boot process

Win2008 + PV driver 0.5 install and boot log is attached.

Regards,

Roman
