Hey all,
 
just installed windows 2008 x64 datacenter edition as we all as gplpv_fre_wlh_x86_0.10.0.130.msi
 
I'm not sure it took though.  I say that because after I installed these drivers and rebooted...  no new hardware was detected.  I now have an unknown device in device manager with a title of "PCI Device".
 
In the past when I installed these drivers I no longer saw the 'real hardware' listed in device manager, but in there place I saw "xen" followed by a device type.
 
Also the overall performance of this is slow at best.

also...  I just noticed that the reason why this did not take is because the installer ends and does not change the system.
 
anyone else experience this?

You need gplpv_fre_wlh_amd64_0.10.0.130.msi - x86=32 bits, amd64=64
bits. You're the second person to make that mistake... I'll look at
changing the filenames. Currently they are automatically generated by
the Windows DDK utilities, but maybe it's not so hard to change it.

using the safe boot option of disable driver signature enforcement check now causes a stop error and reboots the server.

any idea what to try next?  or put in the cd and reformat?

James,
        Microsoft has always called this amd64 where the *nix communitp more
aptly calls it x86_64.  I don't know why Microsoft chose amd64 (as if Intel
wouldn't use the same technology), but seeing as how 64 bit Windows versions
are called amd64 versions (at least Windows XP was), you might cause as much
or more confusion to non-*nix users by calling it x86_64 instead.  Just a
thought,
        Dustin

Hi James,

Are you somewhere put changelog ? I see that it's present, but maybe
only 'on request' for http://wherethebitsroam.com/content/gplpv
It's need for understand is that update needed for my servers or not.

Thank you

The closest thing to a changelog is the hg commit log at http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/win-pvdrivers.hg

And only then when I remember to push it :)
