[Xen-users] GPLV Drivers 0.9.8 Windows Server 2k3r2 on Debian Etch 64-bit + Backports + Xen 3.2.1 Crashed on first boot.

[Joti Mail <joti.mail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

some hours ago I found out that there exist GPLed PV drivers for Windows 
HVM DomUs. Actually a highly appreciated and cool thing.
I got them from
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv

and installed them like told there after I read that no major show 
stoppers exist. (not knowing that there is a subpage
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv/Installing)

The configuration used here is
GPLV Drivers 0.9.8 Windows Server 2k3r2 32-bit on Debian Etch 64-bit + 
Backports + Xen 3.2.1 .
Added the /GPLPV parameter to my Windows DomU and rebooted.
Just like it is written on the /Installing page, I am screwed now with a 
Windows DomU hanging on the Windows Screen with the running load indicator.
I did not experience a BSOD and the install of the tools went fine.

I did try to mount the Filesystem (which is stored in a LVM) with 
ntfs-3g tools, didn't work, ntfs-3g said, I could not find the ntfs 
signature (so I suppose that this actually might be some qcow or 
something written in a lvm).
Would removing the /GPLPV option from boot.ini still work and result in 
a living system? Or do I need to reinstall the entire thing?
I tried to start the thing with and without type:ioemu parameters for 
harddisk and network in the xen config file. No difference.
If someone could
- help me in some way to reanimate my Windows DomU
- add a link to the /Installing Wiki-Page on the main GPLPV Page

that would be highly appreciated and very nice :)

If any more details are required it will be a pleasure to provide them.

Regards,
Joti
