RE: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2 on debian dom0 2.6.18 x86_64 running Windows XP SP3 : gplpv 0.9.11pre11 not working

["Dustin Henning" <Dustin.Henning@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

        I don't remember what version this applies to, but at one point,
when installing, I was going through the "new hardware" windows and letting
Windows install the drivers automatically.  I had problems when I did this.
After recovering to a pre GPLPV-installed environment, I ran the installer
again and let it deal with these windows.  They eventually disappeared
without me even clicking next and then everything worked great.  I tried
this because that is how some Windows driver installers work (i.e. most
mainboard RealTek sound drivers).  However, this may not help you, as this
may have been with an installer for a previous version that didn't have the
"the device is not plugged in, cannot update driver" error, which I believe
was added to prevent confusion when upgrading from one version to another.
Hopefully someone else can come back with more/better information, but in
the meantime, odds are that you'll need to get to a pre GPLPV-installed
state (restore from backup) and try again, so if getting back to that state
is easy and you want to try the install again before anyone else responds,
just don't interfere with the parts of the install that look like they need
manual intervention for a while and see what happens.  Good luck,
        Dustin

Subject: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2 on debian dom0 2.6.18 x86_64 running Windows XP
SP3 : gplpv 0.9.11pre11 not working

Hi,

I installed a debian xen server using the 3.2 xen hypervisor and the 2.6.18
xen enabled kernel ( from stable ) x86_64 . I installed a 32bit windows xp
using hvm. This all worked perfectly. Networking and disk io work.

I installed SP1a, SP3 and the .net 2.0 framework.

I then tried to install the gplpv drivers. I downloaded the 0.9.11pre11 and
installed it. 

While installation, I get "the device is not plugged in, cannot update
driver" 6 times, installation of the driver seems to work ( windows
complains a couple of times that it cannot verify the drivers are of its own
'high' standard ). After installation, I get several "new hardware" windows.
I let windows install the default drivers ( which are the gplpv drivers ).

I then reboot the domU ( without altering the boot.ini ). In the device
manager, the vbd xen devices and the xen net device all have a exclamation
mark on them. The only xen device working without problems is "xen pci
device driver".

All drivers have the same error : Code 12 : insufficient free resources (
its a dutch installation, so this is a translation ).

When I edit the boot.ini to add the /gplpv and boot with that, I get een
BSOD on Mup.sys. 

Here's my config. Strangely enough, I do not need to put any ioemu stuff in
the file for windows to boot ( maybe this is new in 3.2 ? ):
------------------------------------
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = "windows2"
disk = [
'phy:/dev/vg00/windows2-snap,hda,w','file:/root/winxp-nl-setup-Q6TD9-9FMQ3-F
RVF4-VPF7Y-38JV3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r','file:/root/wintemp.iso,hdd:cdrom,r', ]
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0,mac=00:16:3E:00:02:01', ] device_model =
'/usr/lib/xen-default/bin/qemu-dm'

boot='cd'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncunused=1
acpi=1
apic=0
pae=1
usb = 1
usbdevice = 'tablet'
#serial="pty"
----------------------------------

Does anybody have an idea of what could be wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Peter.
