[Xen-users] Windows without a window

Dear xen-users,

 

I have an SGI server with Intel-VT cpu, with Redhat AS 4 update 4.

I have downloaded the sources of xen 3.0.3, compiled it and installed.

Now I am trying to create a Windows domain on it.

After I run "xm create w2k3.hvm", I can see that the new domain is
running (xm list) and the value in the Time(s) column is increasing all the
time.

BUT, there is no Windows window!!

I have tried to create the Windows domain from an SSH connection to the server
with X redirection. When I run "xclock", I get the clock window.

I have also tried to create it from the KDE desktop environment locally on the
server.

In both cases, no window appears.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

Here is the output of some commands and the contents of some relevant files:

 

[root@sgixen01 ~]# xm list

RE: [Xen-users] Windows without a window

Mats,

 

Thank you very much for your help.

You were right. SDL-devel was not installed on the server.

I installed it, built xen again, and now I get a window.

 

I worked with a document called "How to install windows on xen 3.0".
There is an instruction to install SDL, but not SDL-devel. So I think that xen
users should be aware of it.

 

Have a nice day,

	Subject: [Xen-users] Windows without a window

	Dear xen-users,

	 

	I have an SGI server with Intel-VT cpu, with Redhat AS 4 update 4.

	I have downloaded the sources of xen 3.0.3, compiled it and installed.

	Now I am trying to create a Windows domain on it.

	After I run "xm create w2k3.hvm", I can see that the new domain is
running (xm list) and the value in the Time(s) column is increasing all the
time.

	BUT, there is no Windows window!!

	I have tried to create the Windows domain from an SSH connection to the server
with X redirection. When I run "xclock", I get the clock window.

	I have also tried to create it from the KDE desktop environment locally on the
server.

	In both cases, no window appears.

	 

	Can anyone help me? 

	 

Did you check that you got "CONFIG_SDL" in your
../tools/ioemu/target-i386-dm/config.h (path-name from memory - may be slightly
different).

 

It's likely that you haven't got the SDL-devel installed and/or
didn't redo "./configure" in the .../tools/ioemu when you had
installed the SDL devel package.

 

You can build the ioemu (qemu-dm) on it's own, so just go to the
.../tools/ioemu, check things out, install any library needed and do
"make", then copy "i386-dm" to /usr/lib{64}/xen/bin/qemu-dm
and try again.

 

This is most likely the problem you're seeing.
