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.
