Nux, I worked with the SUSE VMDP drivers (downloaded from SUSE) on Xen quite a lot in the past. Upgrading the drivers was always a nightmare and we ran into bluescreens very often. Since version 2 they also come with Virtio.
I don't know if those are the same drivers which come with Windows. Any idea? Regards, Ingo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Nux! [mailto:n...@li.nux.ro] Gesendet: Freitag, 11.

But the drivers "SUSE Storage/Net" in Windows Optional updates override them. Verified on 2008r2 and 2012r2. Luckily the damage is limited as they are in the Optional channel, not sure how many people chose to install those alongside the Important ones, but hopefully it won't be that many. I also got fscked by an update Microsoft pushed for some Intel fake-raid the other day. You'd think a humongous, multi-billion dollar company has some resources to do QA, especially on their "Enterprise" products. -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!
