Hi,

Follow the answers:
###
Version of XEN:
-[root@athlonam2 xen]# rpm -qa | grep xen
xen-devel-3.0.3-3.fc6
kernel-xen-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6
xen-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-devel-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-libs-3.0.3-3.fc6
xen-libs-3.0.3-3.fc6
###
Version of Windows:
Windows XP Professional (Without SP2)
###
Config File:
name = "winXP01"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "500"
disk = [ 'file:/xen/winXP,hda,w', ]
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:4d:04:12, bridge=xenbr0', ]
uuid = "782aa090-7cee-e300-2da6-20c5bfe5504f"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vcpus=1
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
###

I saw the follow error in qemu log files:
xs_read(): vncpasswd get error.
I didnt put any password for VNC.

And in debug file, this is the log:
ERROR: Error constructing guest OS
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/SrvDomainDir.py",
line 77, in op_create
   dominfo = self.xd.domain_create(config)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomain.py",
line 228, in domain_create
   dominfo = XendDomainInfo.create(config)
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py",
line 195, in create
   vm.initDomain()
 File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py",
line 1374, in initDomain
   raise VmError(str(exn))

If you have any idea, about what is happening... I apreciate!

Thanks!!

Further details would be needed:
- What version (exactly) of Xen are you using?
- What version of Windows are you using?
- What does your VM config file look like (please remove the comments
and blank lines before posting!)?

You may want to look inside /var/log/xen/qemu*.log (cat `ls -lt
/var/log/xen/qemu*.log|head -1` is one way to do that).

Also look at the last few lines of /var/log/xend{-debug}.log to see if
it contains anything useful...

Gernerally, it works to install windows on an Athlon64/Opteron/Turion64
based machine, but there's all sorts of things that can go wrong in the
process, most importantly "Not using the right version of Xen".
