[Xen-users] "device model failure" when launching Windows SBS 2003 HVM

[Frans Lawaetz <frans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi-

I am trying to install Windows SBS 2003 32-bit in a HVM on a CentOS 5.1 x86_64 system running Xen 3.3.1 from the gitco repositories.

The domU config is below.  I have tried a variety of different settings to no avail.

--------------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
memory = '1024'
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,xvda,w', ',hdc:cdrom,r' ]
cdrom = '/dev/cdrom'
boot = 'dc'
name = 'windows'
acpi = 1
apic = 1
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
vnc=1
vncdisplay=1
sdl=0
--------------------------------

I run 'xm create windows'

The system fails to boot with the following logs to xend.log

--------------------------------

I read a blurb elsewhere about needing to upgrade qemu however I'm not sure how to do that in a xen-friendly fashion.  Simply pointing the device_model directive to a different qemu results in a failed boot as well (I can post those errors if that's the correct resolution path to pursue).

Thanks in advance.
