[Xen-users] Windows 7 on Xen 3.2.1 on Debian 5.0 fails to install

[Hubert Łępicki <hubert.lepicki@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I am having problem with installing Windows 7 RC on Xen. My config file is:

WIndows is starting, which i can see in VNC terminal, and it hangs on
"Starting windows" screen...

I get error in logs which says:
...
Done register platform.
I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0

And I/O request error repeats as many times as many cores virtual cpus
I set in config file.

I tried changing memory size, number of cpus but this doesn't help. I
also tried using phy:/dev/loopX config with virtual devices created at
dom0 but this also doesn't help.

Do you know the solution?
