RE: [Xen-users] Windows GPLPV 0.9.12 Pre13 Upgrade Yellow Exclamations

["Robert Dunkley" <Robert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does the patch hide the emulated devices from all VMs? (I.e. is suitable
for use on Dom0s system where some DomUs are para and some are not?) I
will likely do a custom 3.3.1 compile in the next few weeks.

James,

I tried the patch against Xen 3.3.1 rc4 and it caused all of the
devices to switch back to emulated mode, not just the cdrom.

The patch applied cleanly apart from the very last hunk which was
already applied.

Could you post the patch again? I will try it again soon.

Andy
