Hi,



i''m a little bit stuck here with creating a HVM-Windows (w2k3) Guest
under Xen 3.1.

I''m using ubuntu 7,10 with a 2.6.22.16-xen-patched kernel which seems
to
be stable for single cpu-linux guests. Cpu is a Q6600 and XD,VT and VT-d
is enabled in the bios.



When i create the windows guest with ''xm create w2k3 -c"  (conf
below)

I get:

 "Started domain w2k3

xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory"



i think i''m fine wiht that coz there is no tty in windows ?! ;)



so i do a netstat -lpn to search for the vnc-port to connect to, but
there isn''t one ?!?!

in xm top the w2k3-domU takes 99% cpu load

the logfiles doesn''t show anything unusual.. any ideas ??



<<</etc/xen/w2k3

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.1/boot/hvmloader"


builder= ''hvm''


memory = 1024


shadow_memory = 8


name = "w2k3"


vcpus=2


vif = [ ''type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0,
model=ne2k_pci'' ]


disk = [ ''phy:store/windows-test,hda,w'',
''file:/mnt/store/backup/wide032a01.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'']


device_model = "/usr/lib/xen-ioemu-3.1/bin/qemu-dm"


boot="d"


sdl=0


vnc=1


vnclisten="0.0.0.0"


vncconsole=1


vncpasswd=''''

Thanx
