I am able to use windows 2003 x64 R2 edition with no problem at all. It
installs and runs with no issues what so ever.

I am attempting to upgrade the kernel in hopes that it solves the issue with
windows 2008 x 64 R2.

The above code has sometimes caused some problems for us... remove it and
change the device_model line to have lib64 instead of lib in the path. First
verify that /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists...

Try removing both the above and below lines as well...

Try removing the viridian=1 line as well.

> viridian=1

Are there any log entries from qemu-dm or xend that say anything about
missing files?
