I did a fresh install of 0.9.11-pre9.  On first boot I went into Safe 
Mode with Networking support and selected the boot option with GPLPV.  
</downloads/Xen%20PV%20Drivers%200.9.11-pre9.exe>It took about 5mins 
"preparing network connections" before the login prompt was displayed 
but I got logged in to the desktop in the usual time.  Once logged in I 
was able to give the adapter an address, reboot and every thing works as 
expected - normal boot up and login speed.
