Hello,
I would like to add two HVM stories - one success and one failure.
In both cases HW and Xen/Domain0 software are identical:
MB: ASUS M2NPV-VM, BIOS 0504 (GeForce 6150 + nForce 430)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
RAM: 2 x 512MB
Distro: FC6
Kernel: kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6
Xen: xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3
***SUCCESS***
Guest OS: Windows 2000 Professional SP1
Config: acpi=0, apic=0
Remark1: 30GB logical volume works, 40GB+ logical volume fails
(BIOS reports negative size)
Remark2: Windows screen resolution only up to 1024x768
***FAILURE***
Guest OS: Windows XP Home SP2
Config: acpi=1, apic=1
Remark1: Famous blank screen after CD install, at first boot from
virtual hard disk
***NOTE***
At least this is a proof that HVM works on an M2NPV-VM, in principle.
(There have been others as well on this list,
e.g. <006c01c710cc$cf4c85e0$9800a8c0@main>)
But the blank screen problem with Windows XP guests remains to be a
hard one. If somebody solves this, PLEASE tell.
