Hello Ian

there is no "vfb" in the .sxp

Here is it:
(Node: XEN 4.0.1 + 2.6.32.21 pvops)
I have found out one interesting point, I have described it under the config file.

name = 'windows'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
memory = 4096
vcpus=4
acpi=1
apic=1
vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vserv/windows,hda,w',
         'file:/root/SW_DVD5_Windows_Svr_DC_EE_SE_Web_2008R2_64-bit_German_X15-59762.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot='c'
usbdevice='tablet'
vnc=1
vncunused=0
vnclisten = '10.10.10.137'
vncdisplay=2
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''
vncviewer=0
sdl=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000 = "0"

on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'



After removing all statements with "vnc" out of the sxp file and restarting the windows domU, I get in the qemu logs:

 XENUTIL: WARNING: CloseFrontend: timed out in XenbusWaitForBackendStateChange: /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0 in state INITIALISING; retry.

Now it is not vfb, it is CONSOLE.

Best regards
Gio

vfb is the virtual frame buffer.

The frontend/backend protocol for VFB is a different to most other
device types and is incompatible with the Windows PV drivers.

You should remove any "vfb" configuration items from your domain
configuration file, I think.

Ian.
