How can I tell if the GPLPV Drivers are loaded correctly?
If the drivers are installed correctly there should be a Xen Project device under 'System Devices' in device manager.
Can I get signed GPLPV Drivers?
Yes, you can get signed GPLPV drivers from univention.de.
What is the Windows PV Driver Subproject/team?
This project has taken the the XenServer Windows PV Drivers, re-written them and contributed them to the Xen Project. The Windows PV Driver Subproject is developing these drivers under Xen Project governance. One of the reasons to do this, is to make the drivers more easily signable and distributable via the Windows driver update mechanism.
