Xen users - Jun 2010 - ''invalid boot.ini'' file after winxp hvm install, will not boot.

Greetings all,

I''m having an issue getting a winxp hvm running.  It will install just
fine from iso, but then when I change the .cfg file to boot from
''c'', it will give me:

invalid boot.ini
file booting from c:\windows
ntdetect failed

Please see the below config file:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
    arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
    arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder=''hvm''

memory = 512
shadow_memory = 8
name = "winxp"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
#vif = [ ''ip=10.1.10.5, vifname=veth0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:onyx_vg/xen-win_xp,hda,w'',
''file:/var/builder/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
boot="c"

sdl=0
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''''
vnclisten = "127.0.0.1"
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
usbdevice=''tablet''
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "destroy"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
