Re: Unmodified Windows etc on XEN 3.0 with Intel/VT or AMD/Pacifica

Hi,

first thanks a lot for your answers!


That's what I have in my config now, based on the xmexample.vmx:
-------------------------
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/vmxloader"
builder='vmx'
memory = 512
name = "win2k.vmx"
vcpus=2
acpi=0
apic=0
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/data/xen/images/win2k/win_boot.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
cdrom='/dev/sr0'
boot='d'
sdl=0
stdvga=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
-------------------------

That's what I get if I start the VM:
-------------------------
# xm create win2k.vmx
   -> Using config file "win2k.vmx".
      VNC= 1
      vncviewer -listen: Listening on port 11001 (flash port 10901)
      vncviewer -listen: Command line errors are not reported until a 
connection comes in.
Started domain win2k.vmx
-------------------------

So I'm not able to get a window on my xenU-domain :-(

I also tried it with stdvga=1 and vnc=0, then a black window opens, 
shows me some BIOS-information, s.th. about drives but then it stops 
with a blinking cursor.


Any help would be nice, thanks a lot!


BTW: I'm using SuSE Linux 10.1 Beta2 x86-64 on Xeon/VT with Kernel 
2.6.16_rc1_git3-4 and XEN 3.0_8628-2. Using SLES 10 Beta or SuSE Linux 
10.0 results in not working onboard ethernet-interfaces.
