7.5.4 Avoiding Problems with the Drivers
To avoid problems and potential failure of the device drivers in the driver pack, you
should avoid the following actions:
• Using the Device Manager to manage (update, disable, uninstall, etc.) the device
drivers in the driver pack.
• Deleting driver files manually. Always use the uninstall utility (see Section 7.5.1,
"Uninstalling the Driver Pack" (page 87)).
• Uninstalling the driver pack with the installation CD attached to the virtual machine.
• Canceling the installation when you see security alert that indicates that the Bus
driver has not been properly signed. Click Yes to continue the installation.
• Upgrading the Linux
driver pack at the same time.
• Installing or uninstalling the driver pack by any other process than what is docu-
mented in this guide (see Section 7.5, "SUSE Drivers for Windows on Xen"
(page 81) and Section 7.5.1, "Uninstalling the Driver Pack" (page 87)).
7.6 SUSE Drivers for SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server on Xen
NOTE
The drivers for SUSE Linux Enterprise are not included in the driver pack. They
are available through the standard update channels.
This section provides instructions for running SUSE Linux Enterprise as a fully virtual
guest with Xen drivers. Running SUSE Linux Enterprise requires a VM Host Server
based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 or later.
The supported guest systems are SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP4 or later.
