Hello, I am currently using a Dell Poweredge SC 1435 at the moment and am trying to virtualize windows on xen however it seems windows does not really understand what its supposed to do. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem I think there is something windows doesn''t understand from the virtualized hardware. With WinXP I get a black screen on reboot (with a grey bar at the bottom of the screen) Win 2k3 hangs on the windows setup screen And Vista simply errors out with a blue screen at boot with the following error *** STOP 0x0000005c (0x00003000, 0x00000001, 0x00000008, 0x00000000) I didn''t expect vista to work to be honest but I tried anyway. I am using a Debian net install Kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-amd64 Following I attached the xm dmesg and config file of winxp Any ideas or tips would be appreciated P.S. I have succeeded in virtualizing a Linux distro in a HVM environment already Kind regards, Licijn de Jong ----------------- xm dmesg ----------------- (XEN) (GUEST: 41) HVM Loader (XEN) (GUEST: 41) Detected Xen v3.0.3-1 (XEN) (GUEST: 41) Writing SMBIOS tables ...
