gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.372/ Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation hangs
Below is a message that I sent to Uninvention. They have replied suggesting that I ask about this problem on the xen mailing lists. Not that I have seen this problem on both xen-4.2.2 and xen-4.3.0 (from the Virtualization repository) on openSuSE 12.3. With xen-4.3.0 I had to run a Windows 8.1 refresh to remove the partially installed package. -- John Connett -------- Original Message -------- Subject: gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.372/ Windows 8.1 Enterprise installation hangs Date: Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:32:50 +0100 From: John Connett <jrc@skylon.demon.co.uk> To: feedback@univention.de I have an openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) system with xen 4.2.2 installed: # rpm -q -a | fgrep xen xen-tools-4.2.2_06-1.16.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-3.7.10-1.16.1.x86_64 xen-4.2.2_06-1.16.1.x86_64 xen-libs-4.2.2_06-1.16.1.x86_64 # I have installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise Evaluation (Build 9600) into a virtual machine using this iso file image: 9600.16384.WINBLUE_RTM.130821-1623_X64FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IRM_CENA_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO All updates have been applied to both openSuse and Windows. I then tried to install gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.372.msi. This runs until the progress bar is at about 80% and the status is "Rolling back action:". I have left it for at least 12 hours and it doesn''t progress beyond this point. I have tried installations with both "Typical" and "Complete" selected. Same result. An earlier attempt with Windows 8.1 Enterprise Preview Evaulation (Build 9431) and gplpv_Vista2008x64_signed_0.11.0.356.msi installed successfully but I was unable to get USB passthrough to work.

These are my first attempts to use xen and gplpv. Any information you can point me to that explains how this is expected to work would be very useful. Many thanks in anticipation -- John Connett <jrc@skylon.demon.co.uk> _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
