Re: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.9 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

["Kris Adler" <spurfan15@xxxxxxxxx>]

I modified all of the inf files after installation. I performed the three things you listed, but it still would not install. When I removed the .NT from the duplicate xxx.NTx86 sections altogether (no extension), it accepted the driver. I ended up with a Xen PCI Device Driver, a Xen Net Device Driver listed with my regular net adapter, and 3 Xen Block Device Drivers listed alone in SCSI/RAID (2 HD, 1 cdrom presumably). However, when I boot into GPLPV mode, I get a BSOD as follows:

STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000114, 0x00000016, 0x00000000, 0xBFFA1558)
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

*** Address BFFA1558 base at BFF9D000, DateStamp 42d65966 - SCSIPORT.SYS

Any ideas on the BSOD?

Btw, I'm using Xen on FC8 x86_64 and Core 2 quad.

Regards,

Kris

Someone else reported this, and found that the reason was because the
inf files were only compatible with XP and above.

Can you please try the following for each .inf file:

1. Under Manufacturer, duplicate the .NTx86 line but change .NTx86 to
.NT
2. Duplicate the [xxx.NTx86] section but change the .NTx86 to .NT
3. Try to install. If it doesn't work, also duplicate the
[SourceDiskNames.x86] section but remove the .x86

If it works, and doesn't break x86 and amd64 (please test), let me know
and I'll update my inf files. I'll try it myself when I get time but
that may not be for a bit...
