I would also suggest that you chang the path to qemu-dm to be the one for the 64-bit version, so /usr/lib64/... instead of /usr/lib/... - Having the wrong path to qemu-dm will either load a 32-bit qemu-dm (which isn't compatible with the 64-bit version) or it will not run qemu at all...

I too had a lot of problems with Xen 3.0.2 & MS Windows. I would suggest installing 3.0.3 and see if the problems continue...that fixed most of mine.

When I run
"xm create winxp"
my computer hard reboots.

I am using the xen-sources, xen and xen-tools packages from gentoo
~amd64 (version 3.0.2)

My virtual machine config is the following:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
memory = 512
name = "winxp"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/var/xen/images/WinXP.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom='/dev/sr0'
ne2000=0
boot='d'

Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
