Hello

I have a Supermicro system with Intel XEON cpu with VT enabled.
HVM, without Windows PV driver, works great.

I am trying to use Windows PV driver from XCP 0.5, it is in the .iso file of XCP 0.5
Filename: windows-pvdrivers-xensetup.exe

I have tried

- XEN 3.4.3 (Linux 2.6.18.8)
- XEN 4.0.1-rc6-pre (Linux 2.6.31.x and Linux 2.6.32.x from Jeremys GIT)
and
- XEN 4.0.1-rc6 (Linux 2.6.31.x and Linux 2.6.32.x from Jeremys GIT)

After installing the Windowsa PV driver, Windows is starting up and hanging around at the loading bar.

/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-windows.log says:

XENUTIL: WARNING: CloseFrontend: timed out in XenbusWaitForBackendStateChange: /local/domain/0/backend/vfb/4/0 in state INITIALISING; retry.

This does not ends, I have waited alot.

Yes, there is a mail at xen-users about this issue, but I want to accent this problem.

Regards and thanks

Giovanni
