[Xen-users] Win2k3 cdrom is not an ElTorito, install boot fail
Hello,
I am trying to install a Windows 2003 Enterprise server in a Xen guest, but
the process is failing on the boot phase of the installer.
Qemu return the 0x04 error code (the cdrom is not seen as an El Torito one)
and the iso file has been created with dd
Can someone help me or point my little self to the right direction ?
The computer is an HP BL460C blade, running under Debian Etch edition of
Xen.
This is the config file :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = ''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader''
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
pae=1
name = ''w2k3-001''
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, ip=10.0.20.103, mac=00:06:5B:66:A3:E8,
bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg0/w2k3-001,ioemu:hda,w'',
''file:/root/WINDOWS_2003_ENTERPRISE.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
cdrom=''/root/WINDOWS_2003_ENTERPRISE.ISO''
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
boot=''cd''
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
ne2000=0

You should remove the line: cdrom=''/root/WINDOWS_2003_ENTERPRISE.ISO'' which is deprecated - perhaps this confuses something. Does loopback-mounting the iso work? Are there any error messages? If not (or no recognizable ones) - if you write the dd-image back as iso - does it still work? best, Dwe _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

RE: [Xen-users] Win2k3 cdrom is not an ElTorito, install boot fail
Hello, In my experiences this is also dependent on the fact if you install 32bit and 64bit server. I have the w2k3 enterprise server x64 working with the config, where, as far as I remember (have the config not here now), also the lines acpi=1 apic=1 - this was some crucial problem to get started the installer from the "text" into the "graphical" mode. - use xen 3.0.4.1, with 3.0.3 I did not get it to work with 64bits. With 32 bits w2k3 server standard it worked also with xen 3.0.3.
