[Xen-users] How do you get past a guest that keeps stopping with "poweroff"
First, thanks to all who helped me get Win 2003 server up as a guest on FC6. The secret is...uninstall FC6''s Xen and build Xen 3.0.4. Grrr! Anyway, I had to abort the install for other reasons. However, when I try to start it up again, the guest shuts down immediately and reports the reason as a "poweroff". Is there a way to get past that? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

As you said, you "aborted" - as a rule, Microsoft products don''t like that... jerry -- "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I purged the virtual drive ("dd > if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1G count=8"). It blips a console, then > closes it and the xend.log says it was a poweroff. That''s what''s got > me confused.Maybe a xen config file problem? I don''t know - I don''t do windows... jerry -- "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
