[Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

Hey all,

 

My issue here is that when trying to boot from .iso image to install windows
2008 r2, I get message saying

"A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing".  Where can I get
this
driver?

 

 

Below is the config.

ernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder=''hvm''

memory = ''1024''

device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''

 

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.

name = "windows"

vif         = [
''ip=192.168.5.5,mac=00:16:3E:FE:C2:02,vifname=windows'' ]

disk = [ ''file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,hda,w'',
''file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'' ]

 

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

# 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=''''

 

#serial=''pty''

usbdevice=''tablet''

This is just a guess here, but what about puttin an ioemu:hda instead of just
hda.

So the line would read:

disk =
[''file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,ioemu:hda,w'',''file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'']

It was my understanding that the ioemu is required for all HVM windows domain
disks (whether CDROM or HDD).

Also, what version of xen are you running?

RE: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

Hello,

I have made the changed you requested and below is my config file.

I''m using xen 3.4.1 with kernel of 2.6.18.8-xen.  The problem is still
there
for me.

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''
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
name = "windows"
vif         = [
''ip=204.124.181.89,mac=00:16:3E:FE:C2:02,vifname=windows'' ]
disk
[''file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,ioemu:hda,w'',''file:/windows/winxpSP2.iso,ioem
u:hdc:cdrom,r'']
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The above code has sometimes caused some problems for us... remove it and change
the device_model line to have lib64 instead of lib in the path. First verify
that /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists...

Try removing both the above and below lines as well...

Try removing the viridian=1 line as well.

Are there any log entries from qemu-dm or xend that say anything about missing
files?

The above code has sometimes caused some problems for us... remove it and
change the device_model line to have lib64 instead of lib in the path. First
verify that /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists...

Are there any log entries from qemu-dm or xend that say anything about

That really shouldn''t happen as as far as Windows is concerned
it''s just
a standard IDE CDROM device that has been supported since the dawn of
time.

Windows 2008R2 is basically Windows 7 Server, so you are obviously
trailblazing here. Maybe there is a problem with the IDE CDROM emulation
that is only affecting Windows 7 / 2008R2. Maybe if you re-post and ask
if anyone is running Windows 2008 R2 x64 successfully you might get a
response (you omitted the R2 from the subject line).

Also, you need to say what version of Xen you are using. If there were
any bugs in previous versions that caused this sort of problem they may
well have been fixed in more recent versions.

Your config looks fine btw.

Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

hello,

xen version is 3.4.1.

windows 2008 has been out for some time now and to my understanding is the 
server edition for windows vista...  not windows 7.

you are correct when you say that i get that message after windows boots. 
when I VNC into the console i can see the post, which then shows me i haev a 
cdrom drive.  the bios is then told to boot from the cdrom.   The odd thing 
here is that i see no hard drive, but i do see a d and x drive.  since 
windows 2008 installs in a win pe like setup, your x drive is the
''windows''
that runs while you install the OS on the HD. so perhaps i have an issue 
with windows 2008 not seeing my HD?

2008 is, more or less, the server version of Vista (2008 rtm was
basically vista sp1), but the server version of Windows 7 is/will be
released as R2 of 2008.

Not sure where to go from there... it _should_ work, but it obviously
doesn''t... have you tried to 32 bit version?

Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

There is no 32 bit 2008 r2, there is only 64 bit and I''ve had no
problem installing the rtm build on xen, I''ve also installed windows 7
and that works fine too.

On both I have videoram set to 8mb to enable high resolution, and
viridian enabed to stop bugcheck code 101 when using multiple cpus.

I don''t use any special settings for the cdrom, just
file:/mnt/nas1/2008r3.iso, hdc:cdrom,r

I am running xen 3.4.1

Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

The thing i do not understand here is that when i hit browse, it shows a 
cdrom (d drive) and an x drive(win PE virtural drive). But no hard drive.
could this be a really stupid error message where windows mean to tell me 
that it can not find a hard drive?

My system is Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.29-xen-r4 which is 2.6.29.3

Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

that''s what i needed to know.

so how do i upgrade my kernel? The one that comes with Xen is 2.6.18-xen and 
that''s from doing a make world.

since the kernel is older the one that came with my system (desbian 5.0) i 
would like to upgrade it.

doing a google search on the subject does not return much of how to upgrade 
a kernel from 2.6.18.

linux-2.6.18-xen is the official tested/supported dom0 kernel for Xen 3.4.x.

There are forward-ported patches for some newer kernels, but those are not
''official''.

RE: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

I am able to use windows 2003 x64 R2 edition with no problem at all. It
installs and runs with no issues what so ever.

I am attempting to upgrade the kernel in hopes that it solves the issue with
windows 2008 x 64 R2.

The above code has sometimes caused some problems for us... remove it and
change the device_model line to have lib64 instead of lib in the path. First
verify that /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists...

Try removing the viridian=1 line as well.

Are there any log entries from qemu-dm or xend that say anything about
missing files?
