Xen project Mailing List

Hi,

Those are pretty ancient drivers:

XENUTIL: PV DRIVERS: VERSION: 5.6.0 BUILD: 30876 (Apr 30 2010.06:57:01)

Have you tried drivers from a more recent version of XenServer? I suggest giving the drivers from 6.0.2 a go, however I am currently working on making the newer driver set (shipped in 6.1 onwards) work with an arbitrary upstream Xen installation. I’ll post more detail when I have something more complete.

Cheers,

Paul

Subject: [xs-devel] vif failing after installing Citrix pv drivers on xen 4.2

Hi,

I am trying to make Citrix PV drivers to work on Windows 2008R2 guests running on Xen 4.2.

But for some reasons guest is not able to boot after installing pv drivers.

After commenting vif from configuration file guest booted up with pvdrivers for Disk.

brctl show shows guests vif for some time and later got removed.

In vm log its showing :

XEVTCHN: ERROR: Failed to set up device suspend/event-channel.

XEVTCHN: USER: SLGetWindowsInformationDWORD(VirtualXP-licensing-Enabled) failed (c004f012)

XENUTIL: WARNING: AdapterConnectBackend: timed out in XenbusWaitForBackendStateChange: /local/domain/0/backend/vif/271/0 in state INITWAIT; retry.

Do i need to make any changes to make network driver to work
