I noticed there is a windows PV driver based on virtIO in http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=180599 But when I enable the driver in guest, the guest will hang. I'm using changeset around April, 18. Since the driver is created in March, I assume the changeset in Apri should be ok. Are there any special action needed to enable the PV driver in windows? Have anyone tried it recently? -- Yunhong Jiang |

When I use device manager->Processors, I see a lot of CPU listed. But it is really a UP system and I can only get one cpu in the task manager->performance window. Not sure if that's the reason of the hang. -- Yunhong Jiang > > -- > Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. |

The reason you see multiple cpus although there is only one is that we expose the maximum number in the bios.

I'm wondering when you publish the binary, is it possible to share the pdb file also? That will be helpful if want to do some debug. > > >> -- Yunhong Jiang >> >>> >>> -- >>> Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. >> >> > --------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------- >> This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference >> Don't miss this year's exciting event.
