RE: [Xen-users] Xen - Windows Server 2003 - Keyboard won't connectunder VNC

[George Fong <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for this James,

Yes I could recompile. I was considering moving up to Etch and a Half but I note that support in the kernel for Xen is broken.

Given that this will have to be a production machine soon, I'll check for a backport and failing this, recompile the kernel with Xen 3.3.

The damnable thing about all this is that it is only affecting Windows. Just about every other O/S I have thrown at the current Xen setup has been fine, at least through the initial install phase . And VirtualBox works without a hitch.

Windows .............

Will report back.

Cheers
G.
