[Xen-users] Windows 2000/XP 32 bits on Xen 3.0.3 on Debian Etch 64 bits
Hello, I am currently running Xen 3.0.3 from Debian Etch on a AMD 64 bits platform. Normally, my processor (Athlon 64 X2) is HVM-enabled, so I''m trying to run Windows 2000 on it. I tested various configurations files but can''t boot on the iso file of my Windows 2000 Pro SP4 installation CD, so I have various questions : - is it possible to run a 32 bits Windows version on a Xen dom0 64 bits? - which Xen version is necessary? Is 3.0.3 sufficient? Thanks. -- Eric Veiras Galisson http://www.veiras.info _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Is 3.0.3 sufficient?I successfully installed several times Windows XP on a Core 2 Duo without *any* problem. The out-of-the-box configuration files are okay for that. Maybe you can try to boot from a real cd with : disk = [ ''file:/yourimage.img,hda,w'', ''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] _________________________________________________________________ Invite your mail contacts to join your friends list with Windows Live Spaces.

Is 3.0.3 sufficient?It seems that after 3 days trying different solutions and searching on the web, I finally found the good solution: this (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-01/msg01390.html) indicated me that my ''cdrom'' directive is deprecated and i need to indicate the iso file in the ''disk'' one. So, it works now, Win2000 is currently installing. Great...> Thanks.-- Eric Veiras Galisson http://www.veiras.info _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Great...The thrust of that thread resolution is that the ''cdrom='' directive is deprecated, not that you can''t use real cdrom devices in your disk array. If your drive and disks are sufficiently reliable, it should work. The disks I''ve burned myself tend not to be terribly reliable in my drive, but I''ve had no problems with professionally burned media.
