Xen users - Jun 2011 - Destroying device model, Xen 4 Windows 2008 domU problem.

Hello, 

I am using Xen 4 with Debian Squeeze and  trying
to virtualize a Windows 2008 Server machine. I''ve followed these
instructions:

But once i do:  xm create windows2008.cfg

The domU tries
to start but then dies in few seconds with these errors:

in
xend.log:

And this is my

builder = ''hvm''

vif

## The

on_reboot   = ''restart''
on_crash    ''restart''

I have tried with other configuration files that i
have found in Internet but none of them have worked. I don''t know
wheter
it is a misconfiguration or a bug ?

Any help would be
appreciated.
