Hi,
i have gone a step further trying trying to install Windows XP 32-bit on
my amd64 debian system. The iso image boots and although i get a
"xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory",
the Windows installation procedure seems to continue without problems
-drivers are loaded, etc. The problems appear while trying to partition
the virtual hard drive. I have tried this in many ways; using qcow and
raw qemu images and lvm partitions. Everything fails in different ways;
no hard disk found, classical blue windows screens. In the best case, i
manage to format (using NTFS) to 100%, but afterwards i get an error and
have to reboot.
What's the secret behind?
Here's my config:
# -*- mode: python; -*-

# Python configuration setup for 'xm create'
# This script sets the parameters used when a domain is created using
'xm create'
# You use a separate script for each domain you want to create, or
# you can set the parameters for the domain on the xm command line.
