Hi I am trying to install Windows using HVM but I get an error message that is totally useless and I am unable to figure out what the problem is. I just pulled xen-unstable.hg because nothing else supports my CPU yet. So here is what I get when I simply try to create the domain: [2008-05-28 13:55:26 16515] DEBUG (__init_s:1072) XendDomainInfo.create([''vm'', [''name'', ''winxp''], [''memory'', 328], [''on_poweroff'', ''destroy''], [''on_reboot'', ''restart''], [''on_crash'', ''restart''], [''vcpus'', 1], [''on_xend_start'', ''ignore''], [''on_xend_stop'', ''ignore''], [''image'', [''hvm'', [''kernel'', ''/root/hvmloader''], [''device_model'', ''qemu-dm''], [''pae'', 1], [''vcpus'', 1], [''boot'', ''d''], [''fda'', ''''], [''fdb'', ''''], [''timer_mode'', 0], [''localtime'', 0], [''serial'', ''''], [''stdvga'', 0], [''isa'', 0], [''nographic'', 0], [''soundhw'', ''''], [''vnc'', 0], [''vncunused'', 1], [''vnclisten'', ''0.0.0.0''], [''sdl'', 1], [''xauthority'', ''/root/.Xauthority''], [''rtc_timeoffset'', ''0''], [''monitor'', 0], [''acpi'', 1], [''apic'', 1], [''usb'', 0], [''usbdevice'', ''''], [''keymap'', ''''], [''pci'', []], [''hpet'', 0], [''guest_os_type'', ''default''], [''hap'', 1], [''cpuid'', []], [''cpuid_check'', []], [''vncpasswd'', ''XXXXXXXX'']]], [''device'', [''vbd'', [''uname'', ''file:/etc/xen/windisk.img''], [''dev'', ''ioemu:hda''], [''mode'', ''w'']]], [''device'', [''vbd'', [''uname'', ''file:/home/robert/winxp.iso''], [''dev'', ''hdb:cdrom''], [''mode'', ''r'']]]]) [2008-05-28 13:55:26 16515] DEBUG (__init__:1072) XendDomainInfo.constructDomain [2008-05-28 13:55:26 16515] DEBUG (__init__:1072) Balloon: 13897924 KiB free; need 2048; done.
