Guys, Im having problems to connect in a Windows console after I install it. I boot using my image file (ISO), format my disk using NTFS and then, windows start to copy the files to my hd, after that, windows boot to start the installation, when this happen I lose the connection, my windows crashes... and a cannot see any error or anything else in my console. Any idea about it? is there any special configuration to get it working? XEN - 3.0 FC6 Using Athlon with virtualization support. Thanks in advance.

You may want to look inside /var/log/xen/qemu*.log (cat `ls -lt /var/log/xen/qemu*.log|head -1` is one way to do that).

Gernerally, it works to install windows on an Athlon64/Opteron/Turion64 based machine, but there''s all sorts of things that can go wrong in the process, most importantly "Not using the right version of Xen". -- Mats> > XEN - 3.0 > FC6 > Using Athlon with virtualization support. > > Thanks in advance. > > Artur Baruchi > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi,
Follow the answers:
###
Version of XEN:
-[root@athlonam2 xen]# rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-devel-3.0.3-3.fc6
kernel-xen-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
xen-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-devel-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-libs-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-libs-3.0.3-3.fc6
###
Version of Windows:
Windows XP Professional (Without SP2)
###
Config File:
name = "winXP01"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "500"
disk = [ ''file:/xen/winXP,hda,w'', ]
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:4d:04:12, bridge=xenbr0'', ]
uuid = "782aa090-7cee-e300-2da6-20c5bfe5504f"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vcpus=1
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''
###
I saw the follow error in qemu log files:
xs_read(): vncpasswd get error.
I didnt put any password for VNC.
And in debug file, this is the log:
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomainDir.py",
line 77, in op_create
dominfo = self.xd.domain_create(config)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomain.py",
line 228, in domain_create
dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(config)
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py",
line 195, in create
vm.initDomain()
File
"/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py",
line 1374, in initDomain
raise VmError(str(exn))
If you have any idea, about what is happening... I apreciate!
Thanks!!
