RE: [Xen-devel] RE: [Xen-users] HVM WinXP dom crash (with 3.0.3 too)
Jd,
Recently, we installed two windows guests (Windows XP Pro SP2 and
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server) using xen and found no problem. The
changeset is 11720 and we did try different host modes (32bit, 32bit-PAE
and 64bit).
Here is some key parameters in config file:
vcpus=1
cpus="1"
pae=0
apic=0
acpi=0
Hope the info helps.
