Hi everyone,

What's the status of the various PV driver projects? Which drivers would be recommended for end-users who just want PV drivers that work? I've been something of a fan of the GPL PV drivers, but meadowcourt.org has been down for a while, and I don't think there have been recent updates. There are the erstwhile Xenserver drivers, but my impression is that they're under development and not ready for actual use.

I would be entirely happy with the GPL PV drivers, but it seems like XenPCI isn't hiding all the emulated block devices -- I have one machine with 5 emulated disks, 4 ATA and 1 SCSI. I still see one disk attached to ATA channel 1 and one disk on the SCSI controller. Neither of these is the system disk. XenVBD is attaching to all 5 disks, but some of the disks are (rightly) disabled because of signature collision.
