Hi,
i try to install a Windows 2008 Server 64 Bit Guest as xen guest. First, the
installation works quite good with the 32bit version, here is my
configuration:
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 1600
extid=0
stdvga=0
# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
shadow_memory = 8
name = "xenwin2008"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=eth0'' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 0
disk = [ ''file:/.../xenwin2008.img,hda,w'',
''file:/some.win.2k8.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm''
boot="dc"
vnc=1
vnclisten = ''aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa''
vncunused=0
vncpasswd=''somepasswort''
When I try to start form the installation CD I get a installation error:
Status 0xc0000225, An unexpected error has occurred.
Google helped me to find out that this is a acpi error. So I tried to turn
acpi off in the configuration file, but the a uncrypted acpi error is shown
in the windows installation.
I googled for that error and only found the hint to use the 32 bit version,
but if you want to run exchange 2008 this is not helpful.
I''m looking forward to your suggestions.
Greetings Daniel
