I have a pain-staking problem with network on Win2k3 guest on IA64 host with Red Hat 5.3 - by default it uses Realtek 8139 which is not supported on Win2k3 in any way, and changing the model (model=whatever in vif=...) doesn't change anything - it always ends with *...@#! Realtek ... now, I am very tired of trying out different things (compiling Xen from src.rpm, from xensource xen-unstable.hg, trying vfirmware from xensource, different parameters in guest specification, I don't know ..) - nothing helps. PV drivers provided for windows are for x86 and x64 ONLY, nothing for ia64. Thing is that I am trying to make the proof of concept in my company for RHEL5.3 as platform for Itanium virtualization (BL380c) in order to get full support contract with Red Hat as a breakthrough as our official itanium virtualization platform, I would be really happy to see this ... but it seems that Microsoft always has to win, I have tried to ring every bell available, but nothing came and now I am tired and worn out completely ... at least some statement that this would easily have been possible if my company had support contract with Red Hat would be appreciated. If anyone has any idea, hint, something, please tell me. [email protected]
