similar to: can''t boot from cdrom

I''m running Xen on RHEL5. I''ve got two problems with CD-ROMs. In my .hvm file, I''ve got the following line: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VG_Guests/WinXP-001,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/opt/xen_stuff/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,w'', ''phy:/dev/scd0,hdd:cdrom,r'' ] The first CD-ROM, (the one linking to the file winxp.iso), appears to WinXP to

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 a little bit stuck here with creating a HVM-Windows (w2k3) Guest under Xen 3.1. I''m using ubuntu 7,10 with a 2.6.22.16-xen-patched kernel which seems to be stable for single cpu-linux guests. Cpu is a Q6600 and XD,VT and VT-d is enabled in the bios.

Hi. I am running Xen 3.0.3-1 on Debian Etch. Does anyone have a sample config file for creating a windows DomU? I have the ISO file from my windows CD.

I''m using RHEL 5. One of the virtual machines I have running is a WinXP install. I start this up after I login to X. If I log out of X, the virtual WinXP is still running (that''s fine with me). However when I log back into X and start the Virtual Machine Manager, I am unable to open the machine. It normally says "Virtual Machine Console is unavailable." There does

Hi everyone! I have this doubt, on xenexpress there''s a command to export and import a vm i think it''s like this xe vm-export uuid=0099... filename=/path xe vm-import filename=/path ... I was wondering if there is something like this on Xen 3.0.3. If not how can i make a complete backup of my vm to install it on another computer (is it posible?). Thanks for your time and

Hello, I have a win2003 HVM guest running, however I cannot see a CDROM device from the windows machine. I have ''cdrom=/path_to_my_iso'' in the config file, and this worked fine for the initial OS install. Now there is no CD device that shows in the windows device manager. So, how do I get a CD device to show in win2003? I''m using xen 3.0.3 compiles from source.

Hello everyone, I am trying to install windows xp as a guest OS. It runs through the installer just fine, but every time I reboot, it keeps booting back to the installer.

Hello, I''m currently trying to understand some problems I had in the past with mixing look-back with blktap(2) for HV and PV domains. I''m stuck reading the source code, so I''d like to get some help from the list. Interrupt me if I got something fundamentally wrong in my understanding so far: 1. With pure-HV the domU gets an emulated IDE (or whatever) disk. The

Hi everybody, I seen many post on running Windows XP on the top of Xen with proper hardware (Intel Vt) ... I would like to know if at this time, i could do that with Xen 3.0.2-2 or Xen unstable ? If yes, could you tell me the procedure ... In 2 week i will make a show with Intel to demonstrate this possibility ... If at this time we couldn''t, i will change the contents of the show ;)

Hello ! Because of a special config of my grub boot system, i try to export in a domU, in read only mode, one of my disk partition mounted in the dom0 (in RW) and i don''t succeed because xen refuse to export this disk partition in a domU. extract of the conf : disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,r'' , ''phy:/dev/sda6,ioemu:sda6,r]'' ,

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 = [

Hi there, Last night I was trying to start a HVM domU via stubdom-dm device model. Initially I did not receive any error to stdout when I did so with Xen-3.4.2. My Xen-3.4.2 installation works fine with qemu-dm (or regular HVM guests). The stubdom-dm guest I was trying to create did not really operate as I was unable to connect to the VNC console. The output of xm list showed the DomU was there,
