Xen users - Aug 2008 - Windows 2003 Enterprise didn''t find Hard Disk Drive

Hi,

i have a fresh installed XEN 3.2-1 on an AMD BE2400 on Debian AMD64.
Now I tried to install a Windows 2003 Enterprise Server.

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader"
builder = ''hvm''
memory = 512
name = "WinXP"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm"
boot = ''cd''
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ 
''file=/HDD250/WIN.img,ioemu:hdb,w'',''file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r''
  ]
vnc = 1
vnclisten = ''0.0.0.0''
usb = 1
usbdevice = ''tablet''
stdvga = 0
serial = ''pty''
audio = 0

It works, but the Windows installer didn''t find a Hard Disk and so it 
can''t install...

Aside from your config looking a bit slim (defaults will apply AFAIK know)
I assume your disk line is wrong from what I see. Check a sample in your
xen dir. Also, why are you using hdb? Probably fine, but odd...

Try to change sda to hda, or ioemu:hda in your XEN
config. It should work.

Why do you have your disk set to hdb?  Why not hda?

Velten,

You have an = (equal) sign where it should be a : (colon) under your
disk line.  Try one of the following lines instead:

disk = [ "file:/HDD250/WIN.img,hda,w",
"file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

or

disk = [ "tap:aio:/HDD250/WIN.img,hda,w",
"file:/HDD250/BX2EFPP_DE.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r" ]

Cheers,

Daniel

Also, change

boot = "cd"

to

boot = "dc"

Once Xen properly sees your "hda", it''ll be drive C instead
of the
cdrom drive being drive C.

Regarding boot = "dc"
Versus boot = "cd"
I believe D means CDROM & C means HD.  This would be like telling the BIOS
to boot from CD or the primary HD, also, if you install Linux to an HVM,
there is no "C:" and "D:" anyway.
I just wanted to clarify that for the thread.
