You are not supposed to pass --location with -v. --location is only for paravirtualized guest installation where you are trying to install an HVM since you specified -v. What you need to specify is a boot cd for the hvm to boot. --Sadique> libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting an assignment > Would you like to enable graphics support?

So, how do I specify a boot CD? Let''s say I have mounted my /tmp/windowsxp.iso on /mnt/windowsxp ? What is better to use, fully virtualized, or para-virtualized? I mainly want to host other OS''s on the server, like 32bit Linux, Windows XP / 2003 Web / FreeBSD -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stugg _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
