[Xen-devel] unable to install vmx domain from iso or cdrom

I''m running with changeset 13110:f58b0c778b90 and I cannot install a
vmx
windows domain.  I''ve tried using the physical media and also an iso.

 

Here is the config used when attempting to boot from iso:

 

import os, re

arch = os.uname()[4]

if re.search(''64'', arch):

    arch_libdir = ''lib64''

else:

    arch_libdir = ''lib''

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder=''hvm''

memory = 2048

name = "win2003std-smp"

vcpus=4

vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]

disk = [
''file:/mnt/xenlsg/xenimages/domvt/win2003std-smp.vmg,hda,w'' ,
''file:/home/unisys/win2003std.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]

device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''

boot=''d''

sdl=1

vnc=0

vncviewer=0

stdvga=0

serial=''pty''

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Xen-devel] unable to install vmx domain from iso or cdrom

Probably the same issue as Thomas Woller reported. Looks like at least some
non-network boot devices were broken by a checkin to add support for network
boot devices.

RE: [Xen-devel] unable to install vmx domain from iso or cdrom

fyi, with c/s 13161 i have been able to boot some HVM guests on AMD-V
and VT, although some problems booting windows on VT.  simple boot
testing of 32bit guests only -
 
AMD-V 64b hv: 
32bit SUSE10 boots, 32bit Winxpsp2 (memory = 4Gig) boots, 32bit
win2003ServerEE (13Gig) boots
 
VT 32bit hv: 
32bit SUSE10 boots, unable to boot 32bit Winxpsp2 or win2003server
(512meg memory) - not sure reason.  when failing loads the last driver
mup.sys, then hangs, although looks like vmrun/exit loop is running.
 
have not tried any hvm guest installs..
