RE: [Xen-devel] unable to install vmx domain from iso or cdrom

["Woller, Thomas" <thomas.woller@xxxxxxx>]

fyi, with c/s 13161 i have been able to boot some HVM guests on AMD-V and VT, although some problems booting windows on VT.  simple boot testing of 32bit guests only -

 

AMD-V 64b hv:

32bit SUSE10 boots, 32bit Winxpsp2 (memory = 4Gig) boots, 32bit win2003ServerEE (13Gig) boots

 

VT 32bit hv:

32bit SUSE10 boots, unable to boot 32bit Winxpsp2 or win2003server (512meg memory) - not sure reason.  when failing loads the last driver mup.sys, then hangs, although looks like vmrun/exit loop is running.

 

have not tried any hvm guest installs..

Probably the same issue as Thomas Woller reported. Looks like at least some non-network boot devices were broken by a checkin to add support for network boot devices.

I’m running with changeset 13110:f58b0c778b90 and I cannot install a vmx windows domain.  I’ve tried using the physical media and also an iso.
 
Here is the config used when attempting to boot from iso:
 
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 2048
name = "win2003std-smp"
vcpus=4
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/xenlsg/xenimages/domvt/win2003std-smp.vmg,hda,w' , 'file:/home/unisys/win2003std.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot='d'
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
 
Any help would be appreciated.
