For the sake of archives that may help others I''m responding to my own
question;
The problem was that the line;
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:94, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
causes problems and stops the machine loading, don''t know as yet what
the problem is but changing to
vif = [ '' '' ]
allows the VM to boot, it''s also worth noting that I needed to change
the disk line to;
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sys_vg/windows_os,ioemu:hda,w'',
''file:/var/scratch/windows_xp_corp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
to get it to see either disk correctly. Windows appears to be
installing - and quickly.
Thanks,
Ryan.
