[Xen-users] winXP installer hangs at "Setup is Starting Windows" Screen
Hi, i still want to install Windows XP in domU on a ubuntu-feisty dom0. Now the Windows installer hangs at the "Setup is Starting Windows" Screen. The option suggested in this post http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-06/msg00452.html does not work for me, because after after pressing F5 i can only select: Standard PC with C-Step i486. Is there a way to fix this? Roland -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?

Roland, I see below that you have 2GB total. How much RAM is allocated for the domU? I think at least 384MB is needed. Have you reserved at least 756 MB for the dom0? dom0_mem=756000 # passed to xen kernel Have you imported a sparse file image intended as a home filesys for XP? -- Mark Show your HVM config roland mender <rolandmender@gmx.de> wrote: Hi, i still want to install Windows XP in domU on a ubuntu-feisty dom0.

Hi, i am using a sparse file image as filesystem for domU. 512MB Ram are allocated for domU, dom0-min-mem is set to 256.
