[Xen-users] xen on Debian amd64 + Windows XP 32-bit
Hi, i am trying to setup on a remote (ssh) Debian Etch amd64 system a Windows XP 32-bit domain. I have used the default packages provided by the Debian repository. "hvm" seems to be enabled on my AM2 Dual Core ASUS M2V system. vakhos:~# xm dmesg | grep HVM (XEN) (GUEST: 3) HVM Loader (XEN) (GUEST: 3) HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ (XEN) (GUEST: 4) HVM Loader (XEN) (GUEST: 4) HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ (XEN) (GUEST: 5) HVM Loader (XEN) (GUEST: 5) HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ (XEN) (GUEST: 6) HVM Loader (XEN) (GUEST: 6) HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu, $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ The config file is the following: ---------------------------------------- kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder=''hvm'' memory = 512 name = "winxp" disk = [ ''phy:xendoms/winxp,ioemu:hda,w'' ] #vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ] device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' memmap = ''/usr/lib/xen/boot/mem-map.sxp'' cdrom=''/vservers/home/shared/winxp.iso'' boot=''d'' sdl=1 vnc=0 acpi=1 apic=1 ---------------------------------------- When i do "xm create winxp", i get a white window at the beggining, then the qemu window and then the domain terminates.

This is because the APIC version of Windows uses an instruction that isn''t supported by the older versions of Xen (older than a few weeks that is). If that doesn''t help, try a fresh reboot and send the output from "xm dmesg" (if you know what to look for, just cut out the last relevant lines of a recent one, but if you''re not sure what''s relevant and what''s not, just reboot the machine and send the whole thing). -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Instead you should have your disk line look something like: disk = [ ''phy:xendoms/winxp,hda,w'', ''file:/vservers/home/shared/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] AFAIK it''s nolonger necessary to put "ioemu" into the device name, so I''ve omitted it here.

Re: [Xen-users] xen on Debian amd64 + Windows XP 32-bit
Hi,
i did the suggested changes to the domain config file
(disabled the APIC first and as an extra the ACPI
later). I also changed the cdrom parameter. The only
difference now is that after the "xm create winxp",
the white window lasts much longer and ends by giving
an :
"Error: Device 5632 (vbd) could not be connected.
Backend device not found."
I read, that this message could be given if running
many domains simultaneously, but i try to run only
this one.
I edited the config file to the following:
-----------------------------------------------
vakhos:~# cat /etc/xen/winxp
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
name = "winxp"
#disk = [ ''phy:xendoms/winxp,ioemu:hda,w'' ]
#vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
memmap = ''/usr/lib/xen/boot/mem-map.sxp''
#cdrom=''/vservers/home/shared/winxp.iso''
disk = [ ''phy:xendoms/winxp,hda,w'',
''file:/vservers/home/shared/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
