Hello,

I currently (I think) have XP installed on an LVM
volume /dev/mapper/vol_group1-windows.  I have been trying to power this
VM up on KVM (Ubuntu 8.10 dropped Xen).  Come to think of it I am not
even sure if the on disk format KVM expects is the same the Xen wrote to
disk.

What is the likely hood that I will succeed?

At this time using the attached config file I boot up into the windows
boot strap.  I immediately hit the safe mode menu.  Once I step pass the
safe mode menu then the vm reboots.  Known problem?

Mike Power
