I have not, but I am not sure that I have an install disk for pre-R2
Win2k3 server.  I'll try it if I can find one and report my findings.

I have to admit, I haven't installed any Win2K3 R2 servers on Xen since
3.0.3, which is what came with CentOS 5.2.  I just upgraded Xen and
continued to run the same domU images, without issue.  I wonder if it
has to do with the 'acpi'/'apic' settings in the domU config?  It's been
a couple of months, but I remember something about having to set these
to '0' during install and then back to '1' after the install was done.

Have you tried installing Windows Standard then upgrading to R2?

I thought I was going crazy the first time this happened.  I was
reinstalling a production domU on a production server and I turned
around and saw the server rebooting.  So I tried it again, after hours,
and I saw exactly what you did.  I have pretty much the same exact
setup, but 32 bit.

Hi

CentOS 5.3 64-bit server with RPMS from Gitco's untested repository
(=Xen 3.4.0).
 I am testing to install Windows 2003 server R2, but when copying files
goes to 99% it reboots whole server.
Is there anyone else who is also using same Xen version and tested
windows installation?

Terveisin/Regards,
   Pekka Panula, Net Servant Oy
