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

Hi,

again, thanks a lot for your answers!

 >vcpus=1 (i don't think vmx supports more than 1 cpu yet)
I think it does, but I set it to 1.

 >try different combinations of acpi and apic 0:0, 1:0, 0:1, 1:1
I'll try it, but first I should be able to get an VNC-connection to the 
screen!

 >are you sure /dev/sr0 is mountable and has the win2k install cd?
Yes it is, now I'm trying it with WXP Pro, same result!

 >Have you tried using qemu to test if the install CD works?
I installed Qemu 0.80 and checked the CD with:
qemu -hda /data/xen/images/win2k/win_boot.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 512 
-boot d
With this WXP ist booting into the install-screen!

 >device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
It is there, I just didn't listed it because it's default!


So some more info:

I started some xenU-Domains, sl101b2-64 is my working SuSE, w2k3 should 
be a working Windows-Image but I don't know how to connect so I can't 
verify it and win2k.vmx is the new VM I want to create!

What I see is that both Windows-VMs don't have network running, for my 
one it's OK because it's not yet installed, but the other one should hav 
had network, or?

What else could be usefull to know to find a solution?
