Re: [Xen-users] Release 0.9.8 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows

I have a win2003 x64 box running just fine. I think a lot of things depend on how you install the drivers. I think the proper way is :

Boot into regular mode, run the installer. Go into device manager and manually install all the drivers. Set up the boot entry and reboot. If you just run the installer, and for some reason the drivers don't get installed, and you boot into the gplv mode and then manually install the drivers, it will most likely hose your system. NEVER install the hard disk drivers in GPLV mode. (unless it's for a secondary disk, or installing the virtual framebuffer).

Looks like there is another problem, here on my win 2008 x64 box the
system tells me after every shutdown pv mode on boot that the last

Ok solved, bcdedit mistake


I wouldn't be too sure of that... I think that shutdownmon may be setting
the shutdown reason incorrectly, so that windows thinks that the last
shutdown wasn't right. It's inconsistent though.
