My test machine has been running fine under all the tests I could
throw
at it, but within seconds of me hitting the send button, I get a
BSoD...
Oh well... maybe don't touch this release just yet :(

(right lists this time)

After much delay and hair loss, I have finally uploaded another
binary
release of the GPL PV drivers for Windows.

Download from http://www.meadowcourt.org/WindowsXenPV-0.8.6.zip

Changes in this release are:

. Xennet is configurable via the 'Advanced' tab on the network
interface.
. Lots of bug fixes in Xennet (thanks Andy), and other changes
mainly
related to differences between windows and linux in the way they do
csum
and large send offload. Should work better than the qemu drivers in
this
respect.
. Fixed a bug where an x32 DomU wouldn't boot if it was configured
with
4G or more of memory.
. Lots of other stuff probably.

To upgrade from a previous version, the following steps are probably
the
best way forward:

1. Delete all of xen*.sys EXCEPT xenhide.sys from
C:\windows\system32\drivers
2. Boot into non-GPLPV mode
3. Run install.bat
4. Boot into GPLPV mode
5. Install the network drivers (windows should prompt that it has
detected new drivers)

Enjoy!

James
