Thread-topic: Install WinXP on FC6 - no graphic window display

I have loaded FC6 with the virtualizations kernel, and I am attempting to load WinXP. I searched all the logs and docs and configured what I think is correct based on these. When I do an xm create dfw11286lv1.hvm, I get the following messages:

 

Using config file “dfw11286lv1.hvm”.

Started domain dfw1128glv1

 

However, I never get a window with the installer. Also, when I open the Virtual Machine Console and double click the domain created, the subsequent window displays “The console is currently unavailable”

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

My hvm file looks like:

 

import os, re

arch = os.uname()[4]

if re.search('64', arch):

    arch_libdir = 'lib64'

else:

    arch_libdir = 'lib'

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = 1024

shadow_memory = 8

name = "dfw11286lv1"

vcpus=2

acpi=0

apic=0

pae=0

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]

disk = [ 'file:/virtualroot/winxp.img,hda,w', ',hdc:cdrom,r' ]

on_reboot   = 'restart'

on_crash    = 'restart'

device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

cdrom="/root/winxp_and_sp2.iso"

boot="d"

sdl=1

vnc=0

stdvga=0

serial='pty'
