hello, just for a success story : After bad experience on fedeora core 6, I have tested a OpenSuse 10.2beta2. I have installed with success a Windows XP SP2. The hardware: A intel DQ965gf Intel Core 2 Duo 6700 USB DVD reader IDE disk (PATA) Set AHCI mode in BIOS and add all-generic-ide in boot option. The opensuse 10.2beta2 does not well configured the xen kernel, you should do a mkinitrd and write the good grub entry manualy. But after, all works very fine.

The xen manager of opensuse is better than Fedora. there are two pass: one for installation (botting iso file) and one for normal boot on the virtual disk.

Hi Shal
Tried what you had oher than there was no
mysterious /boot/initrd-2.6.18.img, which was the same as from the
tutorial by compiling the 3.0.3 kernel. Hhere is what I did.
Installed the Xen kernel etc from Suse 10.2 DVD.
The ran the mkinitrd -k "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.2-4-xen" -i
"/boot/initrd-2.6.18.2-4-xen" (it didn''t do anything without
the quote
marks) I then got

It did boot this time into Xen kernel which it did not doot before,
however, when I go to yast, I do not get the xen virtual machine
installer under system.
xm list comes up as it should.
xm dmesg comes up with
(xen) Microcode: error! Bad data in micorocde data file
(xem) Microcode: error! error in the microcode data
So, if you have your exact command line instructions, please let me
know. Maybe it was something I done there.
Another thing, if I run the intel program for determining if unit is
Linux ready, I get the follow EDD message
EDD Boot disk hinting
4
This test verifies if the BIOS directs the operating system on
which
storage device to use for booting (EDD information). This is important
for systems that (can) have multiple disks. Linux distributions
increasingly depend on this info to find out on which device to install
the bootloader.
Boot device 0x80 does not support EDD
4
Whether this is the cause of my problems, I do not know.

After almost a month, WinXP is installed on Dell Latitude D820 w/ T7600 Core 2 Duo processor under Xen 3.0.3 in Suse 10.2 Beta 2, and it is even working pretty good. Thanks for all of the help from everyone. I am sure I am going to have some more questions when I start wringing it out with my CAD programs that only run in Windows. Everything else I need runs in Linux. Art _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
