I still don't think the HVM BIOS supports booting from SCSI/SATA drives. Try using "hda" instead of "sda" (and of course change your "hda" for the CDROM to perhaps "hdb"). You don't need a "root" in HVM domains. You also can't set the IP address in a HVM domain, you need to do that inside windows using the control-panel (I find it easiest to use DHCP - but that depends on if you have a suitably configured DHCP-server or not). -- Mats >Where is the problem? > >Thank you very much! >Bye. > >_______________________________________________ >Xen-devel mailing list >Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com >http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
