- Xenvbd is the driver that interfaces between the Windows scsiport miniport driver and the Linux blockback driver.
- Xen PV-on-HVM drivers ('unmodifieddrivers' in Xen source tree) contains PVSCSI scsifront driver for Linux 2.6.18, 2.6.27 and 2.6.32. SUSE SLES11 SP1 2.6.32 Xenlinux kernel (and later versions) has PVSCSI drivers. SUSE SLES12 Xenlinux kernel has PVSCSI drivers. Windows Xen GPLPV drivers have scsifront driver.

Some suggestions...
. you should still be able to force installation via manually installing
the driver with the 'have disk' option.
. delete all the oem*.[ip]nf files that are for the citrix drivers (from
c:windowsinf)
. search the registry (currentcontrolset) for any reference to xen and
delete it, but be careful. Windows must be remembering the deviceID
My GPLPV drivers enumerate devices as eg xenvbd768, xenvif0. Citrix
drivers must be doing the same. I would if I should enumerate them with
a slightly different prefix...

Re: AW: Release 0.9.9 of GPL PV Drivers for Windows This is a bit off topic; but it would be nice if you could post the results of the test to the list. I am in the process of benchmarking our systems with iometer and will learn a lot from seeing the discussion.
