Hi, just getting started with Xen and need some help in getting the
installation for XP going. I have read through several howto and
messages and still can''t figure out why am I not getting the install
window pop up. I have been following instructions posted here
http://en.opensuse.org/Xen_Full_Virtualization_Example mainly.
Here is my setup.
1. Dell Precision Workstation (Inten Xeon 4ghz with VT enabled in the BIOS)
2. OpenSuse 10.1 stock. kernel: 2.6.16.13-4-xen
3. Xen RPMS:
xen-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-libs-32bit-3.0.2_09656-4
kernel-xen-2.6.16.13-4
xen-doc-html-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-tools-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-doc-pdf-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-doc-ps-3.0.2_09656-4
ndiswrapper-kmp-xen-1.10_2.6.16.13_4-19
xen-libs-3.0.2_09656-4
xen-tools-ioemu-3.0.2_09656-4
Problem is I do not get the pop up install window for XP when the VM
tries to boot from cd. I do see in the xml dmesg that it is trying to
boot from cd. But no window. I am attaching my hvm file. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Art, but changing vnc options or SDL options do not do anything different. Anything else I should look into?
