[Xen-devel] W2K3 Server Installation fails with ACPI=1 on xen-3.0.3-rc3 changeset 11732
Hello ! I installed Windows 2003 Server (RC2) sucessfully on xen 3.0.3-rc3 changeset 11732. XEN and DOM0 is 64-bit X86_64 based. The hardware I use is a Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (EE, Energy Efficient Version) on a simple ASUS M2N-MX Mainboard. However I wasn''t able to run the installation with ACPI enabled in the config file for the domain (acpi=1). The setup procedure simply freezes after loading all the drivers. Is this a known issue ? I already tried the same with xeon 3.0.3-rc2 (Changeset 11686) with no success. Are there hints or comments ? -- __________________________________________________ Ralf Schenk fon (02 41) 9 91 21-0 fax (02 41) 9 91 21-59 rs@databay.de Databay AG Hüttenstraße 7 D-52068 Aachen www.databay.de Databay - einfach machen. _________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

This basically means that, for 3.0.3, you''ll be limited to uniprocessor Windows guests (unless the legacy SMP HAL works okay for you). -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

The vcpu should be in blocked status, and check in qemu monitor with command "info hvmiopage", IO count won''t increase any more on the vcpu. -Xin>Is this a known issue ?

ACPI is enabled anyway. -- Stefan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
