Re: [win-pv-devel] v9.0.0 released

["Durrant, Paul" <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

  I've been using the same basic config for a long time so there should be no 
need for anything new. How did you go about removing the 8.2 drivers? That 
should not be necessary; the 9.0 drivers should be a simple upgrade. Do you 
have any log output?
  As a pure guess, have you tried increasing the size of your grant table? The 
Xen default of 32 frames is not really big enough these days.
