Re: paravirtualized windows net driver stop after some days on XP guest

2008-08-26 Thread Dor Laor

Can you please try an update version of the windows drivers?
I also added a dummy installer you can use too:

Hello. I'm using kvm whit great succes for various OS. Very good job.

In June I started using paravirtualized drivers.

Since that we encountered sporadic loss of connectivity on some Xp
guests after some days of uptime.
This was with KVM 70. I upgraded to KVM 73 4 days ago, and this morning
1 off my Xp guests had no connectivity.

Putting the interface off then on via panel control  revives network
instantly.  Seems like a bug on the windows driver side .
This is occurring on 2 Xp guests, they have moderate to low network load.

They have 1 CPU , the hal is the non acpi one (because they were
installed in KVM-23 timeframe)

I also have 2003 guests, and so far I haven't encountered the problem.

Also have linux guests, with net AND disk virtio , AND high load without
problem.
Best Regards,

Well, installation is OK.
Now running this driver on some XP  2003 machines. So far, so good.

Time will tell if stability is ok.
Thanks for your quick answer,

Best regards,
