I've just put up a binary release of the latest GPL PV drivers for
Windows. You can find them at
http://www.meadowcourt.org/WindowsXenPV-0.6.0.zip

Changes since the last version:

. stability fixes
. XenShutdownMon now works properly (thanks Nico)
. network drivers (thanks to Andy Grover) work, and are very fast.

I haven't yet had a look at the problems being reported under Intel
architectures, as I don't have access to such a system...

Some documentation is included in the zip file.

Just one thing to be cautious of... don't boot with /gplpv in your
boot.ini when windows runs a chkdsk at boot time. It doesn't appear to
work properly. I think that windows might be running in the same mode it
does when it does a crash dump, which definitely doesn't work.

Thanks for your effort in writing the PV drivers.  I have tested them under
WinXP 32bit, running under Xen 3.0.3/Intel Xeon.

Unfortunately the installation of the vbd driver results in a BSOD, while
the rest of the drivers seems to work fine.

Question: is there a way to install only the xenbus PCI driver and avoiding
installing the rest of the drivers (and avoiding the "found new hardware
popup" at every reboot)?

This is because I would like to use only the shutdown/reboot service, for
the moment.

Thanks in advance,
Sandro

Ok, I answer myself. I just disabled them by right-clicking on the devices
with the question mark and selecting "disable".
