[Xen-users] "device model failure" when launching Windows SBS 2003 HVM

Hi-

I am trying to install Windows SBS 2003 32-bit in a HVM on a CentOS 5.1
x86_64 system running Xen 3.3.1 from the gitco repositories.

The domU config is below.  I have tried a variety of different settings
to no avail.

--------------------------------
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''
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,xvda,w'',
'',hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
cdrom = ''/dev/cdrom''
boot = ''dc''
name = ''windows''
acpi = 1
apic = 1
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
vnc=1
vncdisplay=1
sdl=0
--------------------------------

I run ''xm create windows''

The system fails to boot with the following logs to xend.log

I read a blurb elsewhere about needing to upgrade qemu however I''m not
sure how to do that in a xen-friendly fashion.  Simply pointing the
device_model directive to a different qemu results in a failed boot as
well (I can post those errors if that''s the correct resolution path to
pursue).

Thanks in advance.

This seems wrong. Try

disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]

and remove the "cdrom=" line completely
It would also be faster if you ISO image instead of physical cdrom drive.

Fajar

Unfortunately that made no difference.

My updated domU config file is as follows:


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''
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
#disk = [ ''phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,xvda,w'',
'',hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
#cdrom = ''/dev/cdrom''
boot = ''dc''
name = ''windows''
acpi = 1
apic = 1
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
vnc=1
vncdisplay=1
sdl=0


The error remains the same:

[2009-05-01 16:42:54 20070] INFO (XendDomain:1174) Domain windows (63) unpaused.

On occasion when I get vnc connected in time I see a brief
"unrecognized" message appear on the screen before everything
disappears.

Thanks,
Frans

Weird. Nothing I''ve ever seen before.
Was there any error displayed on the shell after running "xm create"?
If you''re running it on local host (or have X forwarding activated
with enough bandwitdh) try disabling vnc and set sdl=1. It should
spawn GUI as soon as domU is running so you might have better chance
of looking at the error mesage.

Fajar

Just in case someone else stumbles across this problem as well... I had
a bad boot CD.  When I tried using PXE boot the problem went away in so
far as the "device model failure" message did not appear and PXE
attempted configuration.  I tried a different CD and all was well.

It would be nice if the error message was more along the lines of "Could
not find bootable media" or something of the sort.  Maybe I will post
something to the qemu dev list.

Regards,
Frans
