[Xen-users] Windows assigned 4GB RAM BSOD with GPLPV (0.9.10)

[terii wang <terii@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm about to deploying a Xen server running three Windows Sever 2003
standard edition domUs into production.

While working with my Windows team I discovered couple a problems.

1) domUs would freeze on reboot/shutdown when assigned 4 CPUs. dom0
have 8 physical CPUs. Adjusting it to 2 seems to remedy this problem.

2) BSOD during booting with 4GB RAM allocated. dom0 have 16GB.
Adjusting it to 2GB seems to remedy this problem.

I can live without #1. But I would need 4GB RAM for one of the domU.
Due to fact it is a Citrix presentation server.

Anyone experienced similar problems?



When I boot with non-GPLPV drivers, those two problems seems to go
away. Due to deadlines I probably push those into production without
using GPLPV, for now.

I have snapshotted the problematic LVMs if anyone is interested in
debugging with me. If so, give me some instructions to do so. I guess
this should help out solidify GPLPV drivers. :)
