Hi List!
i am using xen-3.0.2-2 dom0 2.6.16-xen (Gentoo 2006.0 base) with SMP (Intel
Core Duo 2x2GHz)
and i got problems (finaly) getting 'xm create mywinxp.hvm' working. i spend
almost a week now
with reading many faq, doc, example configs...bla...bla.. so i think i am realy
close to
get it finaly running sooo please help :)
ok, so - first i tried to use ebuilds (app-emulation/xen, etc.) - with no
success (problems
with system startup - initrd problems with my sda hd (serial ata -> scsi)).
well...
so i am currently using the xen-3.0.2-src.tgz.
for building i am doing like the README told:
make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig
make linux-2.6-xen-build
make linux-2.6-xen-install
the kernel builds and boots without errors.

so, i am trying to get an windows xp sp2 domU running. according to some howtos
and posts
i tried several xmdomains.cfgs. first i tried to do a cdrom install of windows
xp.
i used the xmexample.hvm file with the following modifications:
memory = 256
acpi=0
disk = [ 'file:/xen/windows/xen_win_latest.img,ioemu:hda,w' ] (created with
dd if=/dev/zero of=...)
cdrom='/dev/cdrom'
boot='d'
sdl=1 (OR sdl=0 vnc=1 vncviewer=1)
well if i try to boot with the sdl=1 option :
Using config file "xen_win_latest.hvm".
Started domain WindowsXP
xen windows #
the cdrom drive is reading for about 1min ? but nothing happens :(
while reading the State changes from b,r,etc. when the cdrom is finshed its 'r'
'xm list' showes:
WindowsXP 4 256 1 r----- 87.2
but no display :(
conntect with xencosole to domid showed:
DSsDSsDSsDSs
last lines of xend.log:
[2006-06-12 05:51:16 xend] DEBUG (DevController:132) Waiting for devices irq.

maybe this is a problem with the SDL libs ? - i am not sure which version to
choose.
emerge of libsdl 1.2.8-r1. no sdl-devel avariable. i downloaded the rpm,
extracted it and
manualy reaplaced /usr/include and /usr/lib...
>>> What detailed Version of the SDL libs is required for XEN ?
...
so i tried the vnc support:
Using config file "xen_win_latest.hvm".

Started domain WindowsXP
xen windows #
'xm list' showes:
WindowsXP 2 256 1 -b---- 0.0
there is no read action on the cdrom drive. if i try to connect to it
(VNC_VIEWER: of 'xm list --long') i get:
CConn: connected to host 127.0.0.1 port 5501
...but nothing happens...
additional debug info from qemu-dm.debug:
-vncconnect 127.0.0.1:5501 -d 2 -m 256 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -serial pty
-vcpus 1 -domain-name WindowsXP -hda /xen/windows/xen_win_latest.img -macaddr
00:16:3e:6e:f2:44 -bridge xenbr0 -nics 1 -vnc -k en-us -vncport 5901
:0.0
...and so i finaly installed a windows xp image with qemul (damn this took ages
:) to use it with xen.
i created a 'raw' disk image using qemu-img (was this a fault ?):
file winxp_qemu.img
winxp_qemu.img: x86 boot sector, Microsoft Windows XP MBR
i changed the image and the boot option of the cfg file...
with sdl - aggain the cdrom drive is accessed.
'xm list' showes:
WindowsXP 2 256 1 -b---- 11.16
even after 10min+ there is still no state and still no graphic output :(
(on some tries, instead of '-b----' the state was '------')
with vnc the problems were quite the same as with booting from 'd' cdrom
(mentioned above)...
well... i am realy feeling like beeing close to get it finaly running, anyone
got some suggestions
or tips for me ? - and idea how to closer debug this problem ?
greets xen0n
