Hi, guys. I''m trying to use physical disks as virtual disks in HVM domains. But I couldn''t. I''m using cs10508 of xen-unstable.hg. When I use disk = [ ''phy:sda5,ioemu:hda,w'' ] in conf file, creating HVM domain says, I need to use ''file'' modifier if I use ''ioemu''. So, I changed it to disk = [

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone out there is doing tap:aio disk devices on a Xen HVM vm with any success. Please let me know if you are, and perhaps your version info and a config file snippet. I've posted this to the xen-users list, and what I'm trying to do seems to be correct, works on Ubuntu, Debian, and XenSource; but it doesn't work on CentOS. Here's the snippet from my

This was working before the last "yum update" which I had not done in a couple of months(yeah I know I''m bad). I have a virtual WinXP instance running on a Linux box. They share the dvd drive with the following disk command in the .hvm file: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'',

Hello folks, i do not get access to a physical disk with xen. I would like to install windows xp as hvm to the physical partition /dev/sdb1. I partioned the disk with cfdisk. Filesystem type is Linux (83). In my eyes the filesystem using hvm is insignificant(?). I tried the following configurations; probably a lot more than this. #disk = [ ''phy:hda1,hda1,r'' ] (comment from

hi, I''m new on this list and i need help from experienced users to give andswer for some questions. I sen up a dom0 (debian) and would like it to be very minimalist, just xen tools, some gnu utils and other usefull utilities.

The following patch for chain.c32 adds support to boot the Recovery Console of Windows NT/2K/XP. Normally when you want to boot the recovery console, you need to patch "cmdcons\0" into the bootsectorof the partition (8 bytes starting at 0x3 (4th byte)). We can do this patching in memory: strcpy((char *) 0x7c03, "cmdcons"); To boot the recovery console with chain.c32:

Hi koonz I noticed that you are using the cdrom parameter in the config file I believe that''s no longer used in recent versions of Xen.

I apologize if the question has been posed before, but I did not find any similar posts by browsing or searching through the forums. Here it goes: I have been using Gentoo Linux for a year now, and never have I had a problem I couldn't solve. However, not long ago I bought a 1 TB hard disk which I divided into 7 partitions: /boot, (swap), /, /var, /tmp, /usr and /home (yes, that's FreeBSD

Hi folks, i have a problem to boot an Ubuntu CD in a hvm-enabled machine. I get a black screen when connecting via vnc to the virtual machine.

I tried using sdl (no window opens) and with

Hi! after experimenting for days with xen I was finally able to narrow down why my xen setup is not working properly. When I add a harddisk to the guest system the guest system slows down so much that it becomes impossible to boot. In my hvm testsystem the guest system is a knoppix cd. When booting from the cd without having a harddisk in the guest system everything works perfectly. But as soon

Dear xen users, I''m trying to convert a physical WindowsXp pro machine into a Xen HVM domU. I used VMWare standalone converter 4 to create a vmdk disk and qemu to convert such disk to a raw file disk. Unfotunately I''m still unable to run my converted domU: when i start the VM the virtual disk is correctly detected (also the dimension is detected), but the VM freeze on the
