The only unmodified OS that I was able to install into DomU on Dell
380 is Windows XP. :-) All Linuxes (I tried FC4 and CentOS) hang at
the installation time or at the boot time after installation. Dom0 OS
is CentOS 4.3, Xen 3.0.2.

I'm trying to install and boot any VM guest from any installation CD
on a Dell 380, which seems to be reported as working in some of the
VT-X status emails on this list. VMX is turned on in the BIOS. I'm
using the config file attached here. My dom0 is running Ubuntu
dapper, with bin86 and bcc installed, as well as libvncserver-dev.
I've moved tls out of the way. I have an unformatted lvm partition,
and an image of both an openBSD 3.9 boot image and an ubuntu 6.06
beta2 cd (changing things appropriately in the config file for the
path of both images). I was under the impression that if I'm booting
and installing from a cdrom, I don't have to format the disk
partition ahead of time. I have 3 disk lines in the config file (one
is the default). When I use the one with ioemu, the domain starts,
with the attached output in xend.log, and nothing in xm dmesg. When I
run xm list, the domain still lists 0.0 cpu time used, and I can't
connect via vnc. When I use the disk line without ioemu, the domain
starts and uses cpu time (as reported by xm), but the vnc output is
totally and completely garbled, and my mouse cursor is just a dot in
the window. The openBSD install starts okay with text, but freezes at
the point where I'm asked to Install, Upgrade, etc. I also can't
start the domains with the -c option, so that i can get information
about the startup of the domains from a terminal, but i understand
that this is normal. What could be happening here? Is some other
piece of information needed to debug this? Or does HVM support just
not practically work at all yet?
