hi,

i created a hvm config for XP. The disk is a LVM Volume with 2GB space,
but after starting the installation, windows shows only 1MB as partition
space:

kernel = "hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
memory = 512
name = 'winxp'
boot = "d"
>vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]
disk = [ 'phy:daten/xp,hda,w','file:/mnt/xp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
shadow_memory = 8
device_model = 'qemu-dm'
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vnclisten = "0.0.0.0"
usb = 1
usbdevice = 'tablet'
stdvga = 0
audio = 0


any suggestions?

cu denny

Thank you all for your help.  For whatever reason it took me some time to
get a working config for windows xp.  I did end up uninstalling Centos'
version of Xen and went with xensource's open source 3.1 version.  I used
http://blog.fupps.com/2007/07/05/your-computer-will-be-more-reliable/#comment-1141as
a reference.  Here is the config I got to work:

name = "winxp"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "500"
disk = [
  'file:/xen/win/winxp.img,hda,w',
  'file:/home/bob/WindowsXP/winxp_sp2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot='c'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:0e:b6:e5, bridge=xenbr0' ]
uuid = "c74d2249-9907-5c68-f7ac-314dd11ae7aa"
device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
vnc=0
vncunused=0
apic=0
acpi=0
sdl=1
vcpus=2
serial = "pty" # enable serial console
>on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
usb=1
audio=1

I hope this helps someone.
