I just tried this with Xen 3.4 and the hvm fail to start:


grep -E "stdvga|videoram" windows7.cfg
stdvga=1
videoram=16


xm create windows7.cfg
Using config file "./windows7.cfg".
Error: Domain 'windows7' does not exist.

The Xen log shows that it failed due to qemu failure:

.[2009-05-21 08:55:20 8052] WARNING (image:495) domain windows7:
device model failure: pid 6850: exited with nonzero status 255; see

The qemu log:


cat /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-windows7.log
