Hi, when installing windows server 2008 Std hvm I get always a blue screen telling me: ''a clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval'' I googled around and found, that this occured with vista as well: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2007-01/msg00170.html Config is: + virt-install --name=win2008ss --ram=4192 --vcpus=4 --hvm --accelerate \ --vnc --bridge=e1000g0 --mac=0:16:3e:5e:fd:9e \ --file=/dev/zvol/dsk/pool1/win2008ss.dsk --os-type=windows \ --os-variant=win2k3 --location=/pool1/isos/win2008_x86.iso SunOS sol 5.11 snv_98 i86pc i386 i86xpv CPU model: i86pc CPU(s): 8 CPU frequency: 2826 MHz CPU socket(s): 2 Core(s) per socket: 4 Thread(s) per core: 1 NUMA cell(s): 1 Memory size: 16770048 kB Any hints/workarounds?

BTW, for server 2008, use --os-variant=vista.Ahhh - ok - thanx a lot! To find a workaround I installed win2008 with 1 CPU, than added all recent WinUpdates and after snapshot that installed SunxVMWin32PV. Than I ''virsh setvcpus 2 domain'' and restartet win2k8 and it seems to be working - no blue screen for alomost a day now.... [BTW: www.hdtune.com pro eval comes up with max. speed ~ 120 MB/s r/w for 64MB files in 512 K chunks - mkfile 2g on dom0 gives ~ 70 MB/s on the 2way SATA mirror] 2) Got a kind of workaround for slowness wrt. win2k3: After 1st reboot I interrupt the setup (at this point it is possible) and installed the SunxVMWin32PV. After reboot continued the setup, which gaves me ~ same install time as reported for VirtualBox on 2.4 GHz Mac. Unfortunately, I can''t install win updates - the vm consumes 200% CPU (2 vcpus) but is completely unresponsible (even Ctrl+Alt+Del via vncviewer doesn''t trigger the "taskman menu" - to be able to kill the process). xentop - 19:22:51 Xen 3.1.4-xvm 2 domains: 2 running, 0 blocked, 0 paused, 0 crashed, 0 dying, 0 shutdown Mem: 16776416k total, 16766580k used, 9836k free CPUs: 8 @ 2992MHz NAME STATE CPU(sec) CPU(%) MEM(k) MEM(%) MAXMEM(k) MAXMEM(%) VCPUS NETS NETTX(k) NETRX(k) VBDS VBD_OO VBD_RD VBD_WR SSID Domain-0 -----r 254 2.3 12818432 76.4 no limit n/a 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 win2003sbs -----r 1756 200.0 3678076 21.9 3686400 22.0 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 Also ''virsh shutdown win2003sbs'' doesn''t work - domain keeps running. ''virsh reboot'' doesn''t work either. The only thing I can do seems to be to ''init 6'' - to solve the problem :((( So any hints, how one can force to tear down/reboot a domain without ''virsh destroy''ing it?

But if I ''virsh dumpxml dom'' I can''t see a difference between both domains (beside the domain id and uuid). Does it really make a difference (both have acpi,apic,pae enabled)?
