Hi, I''m testing a fedora 8 and it was a good surprise for me : virtualization tools are more usable, and virtualization with xen seems more stable. I''m using xen to create a windows xp VM. the only issue that I have, is when i ask windows to stop the machine, with traditionnal windows tools : start>shutdown computer the windows OS is stopping but the VM doesn''t stop. It hangs on a windows screen that says "you can now safely stop the computer". With xen and fedora 7, I didn''t have this issue. Does anyone have an explanation?
Hi, I had the same problem initially with all 3 of the full-virt machines I''ve setup (XP Pro, 2000 server, and 2003 Small Business Server). I don''t know if it was solved with Fedora updates or with Windows updates, but it now works like a native Windows machine. An aside to the rest of the list: I have to admit that I have been very pleased with the performance using a Xen VM over KVM/QEMU. It runs at almost what I would expect it to run at on the bare metal machine (AMD Athlon FX-62 w/4GB DDR2 800 memory, software raid5). This is a HUGE improvement over other virtualization products I have used in the past (WIn4Lin/Win4Lin Pro, VMWare workstation and server, Parallels, KVM/Qemu, and now Xen). Developers, please keep up the great work!

I totally agree with you about the Xen performance on fed 8! Thanks to yum, I''ve updated my system, but it has no effect. Shutting down windows VM doesn''t stop the virtuel machine. Does anyone knows what is the issue? 2007/12/5, Bob Jones <lists@pavlodarproductions.com>:> > Hi, > > I had the same problem initially with all 3 of the full-virt machines > I''ve setup (XP Pro, 2000 server, and 2003 Small Business Server).
