Re: [Fedora-xen] RE: [Xen-users] Win Xp 64 bit install
When the windows says to Press F6, press F5 instead, select standard PC
and continue installation. This issue looks a problem with acpi being
set to on by default.

Subject: [Xen-users] Win Xp 64 bit install
Hi,
I am trying to install windows xp 64 bit (trial version) using
virt-install on a fc6 system. The installation seems to stall
when the
message in the vnc console says "Setup is starting windows".
The xm dmesg shows:
(XEN) (GUEST: 13) Booting from CD-Rom...
(XEN) (GUEST: 13) unsupported PCI BIOS function 0x0E
(XEN) (GUEST: 13) int13_harddisk: function 15, unmapped
device for ELDL=81
(XEN) (GUEST: 13) *** int 15h function AX=E980, BX=00F2 not
yet supported!
(XEN) (GUEST: 13) *** int 15h function AX=EC00, BX=0002 not
yet supported!
(XEN) Trying to set reserved bit in EFER: 4d01
What version of Xen is this? ("xm info" should give version number at
least).
Setting FFXSR (0x4000) is probably not "permitted", which also gives me
the indication that this is a AMD platform. Although, I guess setting
that bit shouldn't actually cause a problem as such.
It's much more likely that the problem is that you're using pre-3.0.4
version of Xen. Try 3.0.4-1.
The last message "Trying to set ... " actually comes up just
before it
stalls.
What might be causing this ?
I have also tried to install an older Win Xp home sp1, which actually
goes past the above messages (without "trying to set ...")
but ends up
in the famous black screen upon first reboot.
Probably same problem as above, try later version of Xen. The error
message about setting FFXSR isn't going to happen on a 32-bit Widnows,
as the 32-bit version of Windows doesn't use FXSAVE/FXRESTORE in kernel
mode anyways (unless the code specifically asks - but that's relatively
rare, so the saving by doing the "fast" version is minimal).

It'll be great to know what might be causing the above problems.
Thanks,
Abhishek.
