I have a pain-staking problem with network on Win2k3 guest on IA64 host with

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. 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 ... but it seems that Microsoft
always has to win, I vae tried to ring every bell available, but nothing
came and now I am tired and worn out completely ... If anyone has any idea,
hint, something, please tell me.
Did you try installing paravirtualized windows drivers provided by Redhat?
And also, you might have better luck on rhelv5-list instead of fedora-xen..
