Re: [Xen-users] domU Windows XP errors...

[Julio Cesar Batista de Oliveira <cbjulio@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!
Maybe someone has same issue with Xen + debian squeeze like me...
But, anybody has a idea of what can i do to fix that?
I had tried many "windows versions", but nothing works fine!
Sometimes reboot, sometimes skype hangs.
My last test was change all my hardware (HD 1TB, 8GB ram, AMD Phenom X3,
 Asus Mainboard) and install windows 2003 server enterprise.
Happens the same issue...

Here is my conf...


cat /etc/xen/winXpSp3.cfg

arch = os.uname()[4]

        arch_libdir = 'lib64'

Does it work any bettor (or worse) if you turn off Data Execution
Prevention? I don't think this is a fix but it might tell us more about
what the problem is...

About the Data Execution Prevention, i turned off, and nothing change. The error is the same. Put skype and cmd (command prompt, witch runs my DOS basead system...), and nothing...
 

What CPU is in the physical machine? Is it AMD or Intel?

 My Processor is Athlon II X4 645, and my last processor for test was a Phenom X3...both AMD processors...

Also, did the problem happen before GPL drivers were installed?

For test, i had uninstalled GPL drivers, but nothing...

I dont know why James, because with the old VMWare server in my debian etch was working soo good. I dont think its a processor error, or another hardware issue...
Any idea?

Thank you again...
Julio.

James
