Hi, Installation hangs after first reboot during Windows XP installation procedure. System first boots from CD as expected, formats an NTFS file system, copies installation files, reboots and . hangs. Looking at the log, I had a "vncpasswd error" => created a vncpasswd and got rid of this error message. Now, no error is logged, but still I get a blank screen whenever I try to "xm create" this Windows host. System is a Dell Latitude D620 notebook, Intel Core2 Duo processor, FC6 downloaded last week, Xen installed via YUM, so I don''t know exactly which version yum installs, 3.?.? Anybody got clues, as I didn''t find anything through google search? Cheers

Thanks, Mike

Ok, thank you for the tip. However, when am I supposed to press F8? Just before reboot?

Actually qemu and xen use the same format of disk emulations. 2. After when winxp asked to re-boot, I constructed .hvc file with disk from first stage and it worked OK since then. Hope this helps.

OK, I finally made it!! So for those willing to install Win XP on Dell Latitude D620, these are the steps: 1) Press F5 at the very beginning of Win XP installation, just when it asks to press F5 for additional RAID support. 2) This pops up a new selection caption where you can choose your hardware architecture: do not choose ACPI architecture. I took "Standard PC" 3) Don''t forget to add a cdrom device to your xen WinXP conf file, else it will reboot but won''t find the source disc Win XP installs and reboots perfectly. Needless to say mouse management is a bit crappie ;-) but TSE access to the Windows system is simply great (using rdesktop)!! Thanks for your help and replies Cheers charles -----Message d''origine----- De : fedora-xen-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:fedora-xen-bounces@redhat.com] De la part de Alexei Envoyé : lundi 26 mars 2007 09:18 À : fedora-xen@redhat.com Objet : [Fedora-xen] Re: Windows XP install failed on FC6-Xen NoisilySilent <noisilysilent <at> nerdshack.com> writes:> > Installation hangs after first reboot during Windows > XP installation procedure. >I installed windows on fc6 x64 as follows: 1. first stage of installation ( just to when winsp tried to re-ipl) I run on qemu.

Thanks for the steps. They really worked. Using them I have installed Windows XP Professional on my Redhat Enterprise 5. Here's a screenshot after I was able to successfully install it. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/457/screenshot1zl8.jpg Thanks once again.

Hi guys I am really in trouble now with installing xen rpm on RHEL5 Client. I have installed RHEL5 Desktop first and then I was trying to install xen-3.0 rpm from cdrom and it says lots of dependency error. If i try to install by typing yum install xen , it says no matching found. What can I do to install xen please come forward with your experience not theory Regards selim On Thu, 2007-03-29 at 10:53 +0530, Deependra Shekhawat wrote:> Thanks for the steps. They really worked.
