Hi, I am trying to install Windows 2003 server standard in XEN. I can connect via vnc and I see the setup process. Everything went fine till there. This is the process: - Setup loading files - Welcome to Setup - Licensing Agreement - Partitioning - Setup is copying files - Wait until reboot or press ENTER After reboot it should start with installing Windows 2003 Server but he starts again with ''Setup is loading files'' and then of course it''s telling that already 1 Windows installation is there. I used the same ISO file in vmware and there it''s working fine. Why after reboot he starts again with ''Setup is loading files'' instead of Starting the installation? Anyone an idea?? Txs This is my config file kernel = ''/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'' builder = ''hvm'' memory = 1024 shadow_memory = 8 device_model= ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' disk = [ ''file:/domains/windows/disk.img,ioemu:sda,w'', ''file:/iso/windows_2003_server_SP1.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'' ] name = ''wintest'' vif = [''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0''] boot=''d'' vnc=1 sdl=0 on_poweroff = ‘destroy’ on_reboot = ‘restart’ on_crash = ‘restart’ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] Windows 2003 Server will not install
Hi, I''m not a windows expert but I will try to change boot=''d'' to boot=''c'' in the domU config file. So it will boot from the "hd" Thks, Marc Wim De Geeter wrote:> Hi, > > I am trying to install Windows 2003 server standard in XEN. > I can connect via vnc and I see the setup process.

Re: [Xen-users] Windows 2003 Server will not install
you have to reinstall 1st. I had the same problem and it looks like the scsi support is buggy...

Re: [Xen-users] Re: Windows 2003 Server will not install
This isn''t enough information though based upon it it sounds like you''re trying to install Windows using a PV VM. You cannot. You need to install it using an HVM VM and use a virtual CD rom mounting the ISO.
