Hi, We have some more Windows Tests against Xen 3.0.3 rc3. Here is the detail status: 1. Cannot boot up IA32 Win2k3 with more than 2GB memory. Communicate this issue with developers and they confirm that this should be an issue in xen 3.0.3 rc3. And it''s fixed in latest tree. 2. Cannot install x64 Win2k3 If I do not enable acpi, it will report that apic was not supported by firmware even though I have configured apic=1 in config file, not sure if this is an issue; If I enable both acpi and apic, the installation will hang at the stage of "setup is starting windows". 3. ACPI Win2K can not install & Display issue when booting same Windows image twice, if ACPI=1 & Cannot install IA32 Win2k3 w/ acpi All the three issues exist in 3.0.3 rc3. And they have been fixed in unstable cs 11745.

We don''t support >2GB guests on 32-bit host by design right now (no space to map the guest memory in the qemu process). Jun had a patch to fix this which might be cleaned up and resubmitted after 3.0.3. And ACPI Windows guests are known to have issues: again, there are patches but they won''t be checked in for 3.0.3-0. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Hi Keir, Sorry for confusion. You are right. We don''t support >2GB Guests on 32-bit host right now. But here we found in Xen 3.0.3 rc3, on IA32e host, we can''t support >2GB Guests, although it has been fixed in latest tree. And yes, there are some issues for ACPI windows guest. But what we find what have been fixed in unstable tree include "ACPI IA32 Win2k/Win2k3 installation fail" and "Windows display issue". And "x64 Win2k3 installation fail" found in rc3 is also in unstable tree.

So a guest with exactly 2GB memory would work.> are known to have issues: again, there are patches but they won''t be > checked in for 3.0.3-0. > > -- KeirJun --- Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
