Hi All,

What is the expected behavior wrt Windows booting up if the Xen platform PCI 
device isn't present
after a previous run where the PV drivers loaded and ran correctly with the 
platform device present?
On my system it is currently preventing Windows from booting.

Another possibly related issue is occasionally an update will cause Windows to 
complain that
a boot critical file is missing, usually pointing to xenbus.sys. Is there a way 
to tell Windows that
the PV drivers are not boot critical so that Windows will continue booting even 
if it doesn't load
the PV drivers properly?

Thanks,
Connor
