Hello,
I use Debian Squeeze with XEN 4.0. I use LVM for my virtual machines. This seems to be the problem in combination of Windows 2008 R2 and GPLPV drivers. I can install Windows 2008 R2 without problems. But after I installed the GPLPV drivers and rebooted Windows, the VM stops with a BSOD error 07b (inaccessible boot device). This is how I configured the disk:
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg0/deathstar-disk,hda,w', 'file:/data/w2k8r2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
When I use a file as the disk, I have no problems to install the GPLPV drivers (disk = [ 'file:/data/w2k8.disk,hda,w', 'file:/data/w2k8r2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]). So it seems, that it is impossible (at least for me), to use LVM and GPLPV drivers together. I even compiled the latest version of GPLPV, but always the same error. I also had a problem with windows 2003 server and GPLPV, but can't remember if it was error 07b. So maybe this problem is not only related to Windows 2008 R2.
With kind regards. Christian Motschke |
