[Xen-users] Xen + windows XP

["Samir Faci" <samir.list@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

   I've managed to get xen to boot into a linux installation and everything seems to be working beautifuly.  I have two issues, I need to boot off a CDrom to install windows xp, and I'm still not sure how to do that, and I'm also not sure of what I should put for the kernel= line when I have a winxp install.

this is my current config:

I'm converting the config from a gentoo install to a winxp, this won't boot, and I'm not exactly sure how to ensure that it uses the iso instead of the harddirve.  I tested the disk line in my gentoo install and I can mount the iso etc.  the iso is just a dd image of a valid working winxp install disk.

#general
name = "winxp";
memory = 256;

#booting
#kernel = "/boot/gentoo-domU";

#virtual disks
disk = [ "file:/var/virtual/disk.img,xvda,w", "file:/var/virtual/swap,xvdb,w", "file:/var/virtual/iso/winxp.iso,xvdc:cdrom,r" ];
#root = "/dev/xvda ro";
boot = "d"

#virtual network
sdl=1
vif = [""];
dhcp = "dhcp";
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncviewer=0

#misc
>on_reboot   = 'destroy'
on_crash    = 'destroy'



Any help would be appreciated.
