Hi there, i have trouble with Win NT 4 and WIN98 in XEN DomU when i will install. WinNT says on Hardware detect: # i can find graficadapter, install fails, please reboot ... And Win98 starts in shell an says: # no valid cdrom drivers selected .... My install Disks are ISO Files, my Config: disk = [ ''file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'' ] Have anyone a running Windows NT or Win98 as Xen DomU? Have anyone an Idea hat in can do? Many thanks & greeds, Maybee _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi for hvm you have to do : /disk = [ ''file:/xen_disks/win2k3_propre_ntfs_maj_active.img,ioemu:hda,w'' ] cdrom="/opt/win2k3.iso"/ for example in your config regards Yves maybee@gmx.de a écrit :> > Hi there, > > > > i have trouble with Win NT 4 and WIN98 in XEN DomU when i will install. > > > > WinNT says on Hardware detect: > > > > # i can find graficadapter, install fails, please reboot ... > > > > And Win98 starts in shell an says: > > > > # no valid cdrom drivers selected .... > > > > My install Disks are ISO Files, my Config: > > > > disk = [ ''file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'', > ''file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'' ] > > > > Have anyone a running Windows NT or Win98 as Xen DomU? > > > > Have anyone an Idea hat in can do? > > > > Many thanks & greeds, > > Maybee > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users-- Yves-Gaël Chény Responsable développements techniques Responsable Achats techniques Responsable RH technique 261 route de Clisson 44230 St Sébastien sur Loire Tel : 02 40 97 62 67 - 08 73 77 24 91 http://www.tranquilitsystems.com/ yves-gael.cheny@tranquil-it-systems.fr Tranquil IT Systems .

Win98 is probably more difficult than NT, because Win98 will use segments with base != 0, and quite possibly also use "big real-mode" tricks for booting [the latter is speculation, the former is based on the fact that some of the Win98 kernel is same as Windows 3.x, which definitely uses segments for certain memory operations.

It''s very instrusting because i use this with the xen version : xen-3.0.4_1-src.tgz and i have no problem with win98se. So can you write only that ? : disk = [ ''file:/path/windisk.img,hda,w'', ''file:/path/wincd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] regards Yves Petersson, Mats a écrit :>> -----Original Message----- >> From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com >> [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of >> Yves-gaël Chény >> Sent: 17 April 2007 10:03 >> To: maybee@gmx.de; xen-users@lists.xensource.com >> Subject: Re: [Xen-users] WIN NT / WIN98 HVM >> >> Hi >> for hvm you have to do : >> >> >> /disk = [ >> ''file:/xen_disks/win2k3_propre_ntfs_maj_active.img,ioemu:hda,w'' ] >> cdrom="/opt/win2k3.iso"/ >> > > The original post contains the correct syntax for newer versions of Xen (3.0.4 at least). > disk = [ ''file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w'', > ''file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'' ] > > I don''t see anything wrong with that part. > > Win98 is probably more difficult than NT, because Win98 will use segments with base != 0, and quite possibly also use "big real-mode" tricks for booting [the latter is speculation, the former is based on the fact that some of the Win98 kernel is same as Windows 3.x, which definitely uses segments for certain memory operations.

Just to connect up this thread again. I tried Windows NT4.0 SP1 on my Xen-unstable (latest version as of today, changeset 14875. It doesn''t work with Cirrus graphics (appears, from my checking so far, that it''s infinitely waiting for something to come back from the Cirrus graphics processor). However, with "stdvga=1" in the config file, it installs OK. It''s a bit slow because of the standard vga adapter (standard VGA doesn''t use a linear frame-buffer like the Cirrus does, nor does it support the more advanced graphics functions that Cirrus does), but it''s working as such. I haven''t tried Win98SE yet - I have a disk + serial number sitting around, but I may not do that today. This is on an AMD-based system. -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
