RE: [Xen-users] Sometimes HVM winxp with gpl PV drivers 0.8.1driversboot

  Hi,

  I'm using gpl PV drivers 0.8.1 drivers for HVM winxp and sometimes
it boots forever.
From the iostat in dom0 with xen-3.1.2 is see that there is NO access
to
the underlying lvm volume of this winxp HVM.


Once the gplpv drivers take over you won't see any access from qemu.

Yes , but i still will always see all disk HVM access with iostat on the lvm volume device, no matter there is PV driver or qemu disk. So i ment to say that HVM is doing both no PV driver & no qemu disk access while it gets stuck in the boot process.

Try 0.8.4, I fixed a race somewhere around there that would cause a hang
on boot.

 Possible race condition explains the lack of disk access, i'll try this 
version.
 Thanks a lot.
