Re: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.5 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

[russ@xxxxxxxxxx]

Sorry for the top post, I'm on a blackberry.  

I am using the latest - 0.9.6 I believe.  
Here is what I did in the latest one: 
Did. a clean install of win2k8 standard x32.  
Enabled testsigning using bcdedit, but did not reboot.  
Downloaded and installed the latest from James. I got prompts about unsigned 
drivers, but I said to install anyway.  
Followed the wiki to create a new bootentry.  
Set that entry as default.  
Rebooted.  
Upon reboot, the old devices were showing up, and the new pci device had a 
problem.  Upon manually installing the driver for it, it detects the other 
devices, but doesn't disable the old ones.  
Upon reboot it will not proceed past the boot menu claiming the exe is 
corrupted.  

Hope this helps.  I will try rebooting after enabling test signing and see if 
that helps.

I didn't ask before, but I'm assuming you are using 0.9.5 or up, with the gui 
installer, so there is no real choice about order. Previous versions used a 
dos .bat file, and there were manual install procedures before that. 
Basically, xenpci.inf/.sys gets installed first, which creates other devices 
the other drivers attach to, while xenhide.sys is *supposed* to hide the 
qemu/realtek devices. And the install probably should be done with out any 
xen pv drivers loaded, such as when you boot w/o /gplpv.

If it doesn't work for you, report it (as you have), and James will probably 
ask you for more info.  Don't keep hosing your system - either it works or it 
doesn't. :-(

On snapshots, search the list. This has been discussed a lot in the last two 
months.
