Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] VHD BUG in xen4.0 when install windows2008
> Description of problem:
> after install Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition 64(disk size: 20G, C:\ 15G,
> D:\ 5G) on vhd file (as base image), os can not startup.

Which dom0 kernel is this with? I'm guessing one of Jeremy's pvops trees?

It might be worth reducing the number of dom0 VCPUs to 1 and repeating the 
experiment to see if that makes a difference. 

Thanks,
Ian
