But I have problem using 0.9.9 driver: My dom0 system is openSuse10.3 x86_64 with xen 3.1 after windowsXP sp2 installation I use the 0.9.9 installer to install pv drivers, no errors. But when i boot windowsXP with /gplpv, the system hangs at "Windows Xp"splash screen with the indicator rolling...I keep the windows running for about 1 hours and the indicator is still rolling.. If I boot windows without /gplpv, everything is ok. I reinstall a windows 2003 server and the problem is the same. It seems that he situation is like http://www.nabble.com/GPLV-Drivers-0.9.8-Windows-Server-2k3r2-on-Debian-Etch-64-bit-%2B-Backports-%2B-Xen-3.2.1-Crashed-on-first-boot.-td17763419.html#a17766911 http://www.nabble.com/GPLV-Drivers-0.9.8-Windows-Server-2k3r2-on-Debian-Etch-64-bit-%2B-Backports-%2B-Xen-3.2.1-Crashed-on-first-boot.-td17763419.html#a17766911 What can I do to use 0.9.x the driver? As far as I know the 0.8.x driver works for my system. Thanks!
