Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.6 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows
That looks fine. I've never tested with 'apic=0', so that could be a problem.

If you can wait a bit longer I'll be putting up a new binary release in the 
next few days which has a fix for a xenbus problem. If it still doesn't work 
I'll ask for some more info.
