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

Basically what we have here are two servers that will each have a RAID-5 array filled up with 5 x 320GB SATA drives, I want to have these as useable file systems on both servers (as they will both be

Hello Everyone, I have been trying to get a Fedora 12 domU to boot for the better part of the afternoon and haven't had success booting any F12 kernel in Xen. I can get Fedora 11 installed no problem, tried to do a preupgrade but the when booting the preupgrade kernel through grub (or even from outside the domU) the domU reboots very quickly and ultimately crashes.

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.
