Hi,
I finally managed to make the Xen to not complain about Windows guest
configuration, devices, loops etc. But now there''s another problem. The
Guest doesn''t turn up. It looks like it''s been started fine
when
executing, but then doesn''t show up in the XM list.
===========================================# xm create /etc/xen/xenwin.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/xenwin.cfg".
Started domain xenhvm
# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 2711 2 r-----
84.3
#
===========================================
Anyone else that have experienced this?
I''m using this configuration file:
===========================================import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 1024
shadow_memory = 8
name = "xenhvm"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ ''tap:aio:/home/xen/domains/windows/xenwin.img,hda,w'',
''tap:aio:/home/xen/domains/windows/win2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
#device_model = ''/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''123456''
stdvga=0
serial=''pty''
usbdevice=''tablet''
===========================================

Most of the time, when it quits write away it is a problem with either the disk image or the cdrom. Hope that helps.
