RE: [Xen-devel] RE: [Xen-users] HVM WinXP dom crash (with 3.0.3 too)
Update (hopefully final.)
Good news. (Special thanks to Wei Huang and Thomas
Woller)
With images create with qemu-img and memory as high as
1912 (sorry I did not try lower numbers.. in between),
I could get the installation through.
But all this does not happen in one shot for me.
a. First vm, formats and then hangs at checking
harddisk stage. Then keeps on complaining, that I do
not have corrrect cd rom in the drive!
b. Next invocation, now allows me to use formatted
disk in the first run. Then the file installation
continues.
c. A boot after instllation and option changed to boot
from disk, it hung at initial stage.
d. Another invocation, got it to run the post
instllation setup goes through
Hurray... :)
So this good but NOT CONSISTENT !!!
======== With LVM volume as disk =====================
a. First time hang on the first screen. (Only "Windows
Setup" with underline displayed). Dies after few min.
Hard error in some dll.
b. second time, till formatting. But error while
formatting.
Complains about Insert CD, (repeatedly)
c. third time hung again on the first screen (Only
"Windows Setup" with underline displayed"). Dies after
few min. Hard error in some dll.
d. Fourth time, went till formatting.. error
formatting. (Unable to fromat partition..)
e. Fifth time : Tried with smalled LVM 4G, formatting
shows 100%.. waits for few min.. gives error.
"Setup was unable to format partition..."
f. Lost patience.
