Re: [win-pv-devel] Removing old glpv windows drivers to install new -> inaccessible boot device

Hi.

I could successfully boot into safe mode, then used bcdedit for
testsigning and now the installer worked (interesting that installing
the pfx files previously did not make any difference). The install went
fine, I could reboot. Unfortunately since then (it is more then 8 hours
now) I'm facing the attached screen. The animation is just rolling,
rolling rolling and nothing happens. CPU ticks are used, so I assume
something is happening, but it seemes pretty much stuck.

I think I will try what you recommended to remove all old/new drivers
completely and then I might be able to revert back to the old glpv drivers.

I received an other response on xen-users, where someone is facing the
same problem, so it does not seem to exceptional.

The problem installing/removing/updating old and new pv drivers for
windows are many unfortunately.
About gplpv remove after uninstall them from windows control panel you
execute the uninstall bat from james harpes site? (now offline)
If no take from attachment (must be renamed to .bat) and run it to clean
gplpv (>=0.10) things.

Your best bet is to boot with windows PE (Or mount the disk image and
use a linux registry editor)



Then in the registry search user
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\class for XENFILT â every time you
see it appearing in UpperFilters, remove it.



The go through the HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\xen* keys and
set Start to 3



This should let you boot up.

Hi all. I already issued this same question at xen users, but I might

get more response at the developer list.



I have some Windows7 HVM domu (debian dom0) and xen 4.5. I'm

successfully using the old uninvention gplpv windows drivers. I decided

that follwoing an upgrade to xen 4.6 I will go to the official xen

windows device drivers:

http://www.xenproject.org/developers/teams/windows-pv-drivers.html



The installer failed installing these new drivers, so I guessed that the

problem might be the presence of the old uninvention drivers. I

uninstalled them, and rebooted the machine. Since then I'm getting BSOD

saying that Windows failed to boot, INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE.



Is there a way to let Windows boot again? I guess if I cold turn on some

basic harddisk emulation what windows should know by default, my problem

should gone (so instead of PVHVM stubdomain I would have a normal HVM

domain at least until I install the new drivers)?



Thank you.
