Xen users - Aug 2009 - Windows 2008 datacenter no cdrom.

[This email is either empty or too large to be displayed at this time]

I haven''t seen this before, but for what it''s worth, I just
finished
installing Windows 7 as a domU with the following disk line in my VM
config file:

disk = [ ''phy:/dev/sysvg/vm_windo_disk0,xvda,w'',
''file:/vm/iso/windows_7_ultimate_64bit.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r'' ]

Hey all,

I have attached a screen

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''
