Cannot boot to cdrom (or file) using xl create for XP hvm

Trying to build an XP hvm using a compiled "xenified" kernel
(3.5.4) but having no success reading the cdrom or an image
made from the install disk.

Error in vnc display:
  Booting from Cd-Rom...
  CDROM boot failure code : 0003
  Boot from CD-Rom failed: could not read the boot disk
  No bootable device. Powering off in 30 seconds.

Re: Cannot boot to cdrom (or file) using xl create for XP hvm

Try add "xen_platform_pci=1" line to config file.

Re: Cannot boot to cdrom (or file) using xl create for XP hvm

Changing this line:

''/home/skippy/myXpImage/xpImage.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''

to this:

''file:/home/skippy/myXpImage/xpImage.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''

(added file: directive) did the magic.

First read these:

[Xen Man Pages](http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Man_Pages)
[xl.cfg doc](http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/man/xl.cfg.5.html)

Relative to your previous question:
[xl Disk Configuration](

>Another suggestion is to try creating a disk image to work off of using:
  sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/path/to/disk.iso

Then change the line for your cdrom to read:
  ''/path/to/disk.iso,,hdc,r,devtype=cdrom''

I know you said you''ve used the CD before, but the only times I have
specifically encountered that error message with proper configuration was
when the image file I was using had been corrupted.  Just to be sure, try
cleaning the disk, or making an image copy using dd or another utility of
your choice.

Here is my Windows 7 HVM Configuration File as an example:

name=''windows''
builder=''hvm''
vcpus=4
memory=8192
disk=[
        ''/dev/mapper/xen-windows,,hda,w''
]
vif=[
        ''bridge=xenbr1,model=e1000,mac=00:16:3e:14:b1:1c''
]
pci = [
        ''00:1d.0'',
        ''01:00.0'',
        ''01:00.1'',
        ''0b:00.0'',
        ''0c:00.0''
]
boot=''c''
pae=1
nx=1
videoram=16
stdvga=1
#sdl=1
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0:10"
vncpasswd=''''
usb=1
usbdevice="tablet"
localtime=1
xen_platform_pci=1

_The "xen_platform_pci" flag is for PV on HVM, it should not have
anything
to do with your configuration until after you install Windows and then the
GPLPV drivers._
