Hello everyone,
I am trying to install windows xp as a guest OS. It runs through the
installer just fine, but every time I reboot, it keeps booting back to
the installer.
Here is my config:
------------<code>---------------------------------------
kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder="hvm"
memory=512
device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
name="win01"
vcpus=1
vif=['type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0']
disk = [ 'phy:vg/win01,sda,w','file:/mnt/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=0
vncpasswd=''
ne2000=0
boot='dc'
-----------</code>----------------------------------------
I have tried changing removing the "'file:/mnt/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'"
line for the disk between reboots, but the thing will not create at
all without it! I have also tried setting the hard drive to hda, and I
tried using ioemu... it does not help. I have also tried using the
physical cdrom (won't create when I do) and I have tried fully
qualifying the devices to "/dev/vg/win01" and the like, when I do, the
hard drive is not found.
I keep getting this in my log file (don't know if it is significant):
medium change watch on `hdc' (index: 1): /mnt/winxp.iso
I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0
I am using gentoo, xen 3.3 with kernel 2.6.18-xen-r12 and LVM 2.02.36.
My gentoo guest VMs run without a hitch.
I'm really close here, but after hours of banging my head on this, I'm
ready for some outside input. I appreciate the help
Thanks.
Chris
