Re: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.9 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows



Ok i tested with a fresh vista, installing or upgrading didn't work
So we need a way for installing the driver, the old dpinst? with /F?

I have unpacked and signed the driver, but when i try to install it with the installer (deselecting all except install drivers), I get in details "Windows Vista doesn't support automatic driver updating"

So what is the best way, to get the drivers updated?

Nothing much changed from 0.9.9-pre3, except that from now on any
attempt to upgrade any of the 'child' devices of xenpci (eg xennet,
xenvbd, xenscsi, xenstub) will be met with a 'must reboot for this
change to take effect'. This should get around any problems of mixing
version, but will still allow 'xm block-detach' etc to work. I think I
may have fixed a BSoD on shutdown too (0x9f).

Well, I'm finally back in business. Created a winxppro sp3 fully patched file backed vbd I saved on another machine as a template. I installed 0.9.9 with absolutely no incident, no missing devices. The 'Details' button in the installer said something to the effect "Device not plugged in, couldn't update driver" a couple of times, but Device Manager is very happy.

I rebooted w/ /gplpv, and was immediately pleasantly surprised to get a 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in my systray, and a popup asking for Media Actions for my dvd. My Computer properly read my dvd, for the first time ever. Of course, I still can't change the disk, but that's the same situation with Qemu.

Benchmarks to follow. Good job, James.
