Hello List!!! My host operating system is *Fedora 7* and I am trying to install quest operating systems on *Xen*, using *Virtual machine manager* and i choose paravirtualized mehod for every new virtual system. In the field where i must put the install media, i have to put the location of the files necessary for installing the new operating system, isn''t that right? For example,if i want to install Windows XP from a cd i put file://media/WINDOWS_XP . In the next step where i have to put the locationof the physical host system that will e used to install virtual sustem''s operating system, i put /home/xen/winxp In the next step i specify the memory and cpu allocation, an error message occures: *INVALID PV MEDIA ADDRESS* What is wrong? Any advices? Please HELP me !! Thanks Helen _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
You can''t install windows xp as a paravirtulized guest. You can only install it as fully virtualized guest and you need vmx/svm support for your cpu. --Sadique Eleni Karaviotou wrote:> Hello List!!! > > My host operating system is *Fedora 7* and I am trying to install > quest operating systems on *Xen*, using *Virtual machine manager* > and i choose paravirtualized mehod for every new virtual system. > In the field where i must put the install media, i have to put the > location of the files necessary for installing the new operating > system, isn''t that right?
