It's very instrusting because i use this with the xen version :
xen-3.0.4_1-src.tgz
and i have no problem with win98se.

So can you write only that ? :

disk = [ 'file:/path/windisk.img,hda,w', 'file:/path/wincd.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]


regards

Yves

Hi
for hvm you have to do :


/disk = [ 'file:/xen_disks/win2k3_propre_ntfs_maj_active.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
cdrom="/opt/win2k3.iso"/

The original post contains the correct syntax for newer versions of Xen (3.0.4 at least). disk = [ 'file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

I don't see anything wrong with that part. Win98 is probably more difficult than NT, because Win98 will use segments with base != 0, and quite possibly also use "big real-mode" tricks for booting [the latter is speculation, the former is based on the fact that some of the Win98 kernel is same as Windows 3.x, which definitely uses segments for certain memory operations. Until unstable, segments with base != 0 is unsupported and will lead to strange crashes].

for example in your config

Hi there,

i have trouble with Win NT 4 and WIN98 in XEN DomU when i
will install.
WinNT says on Hardware detect:

# i can find graficadapter, install fails, please reboot ...

And Win98 starts in shell an says:

# no valid cdrom drivers selected ....

My install Disks are ISO Files, my Config:

disk = [ 'file:/path/windisk.img,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/path/wincd.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

Have anyone a running Windows NT or Win98 as Xen DomU?

Have anyone an Idea hat in can do?

Many thanks & greeds,

Maybee
