I'm trying to install and boot any VM guest from any installation CD on a Dell 380, which seems to be reported as working in some of the VT-X status emails on this list. VMX is turned on in the BIOS. I'm using the config file attached here. My dom0 is running Ubuntu dapper, with bin86 and bcc installed, as well as libvncserver-dev. I've moved tls out of the way. I have an unformatted lvm partition, and an image of both an openBSD 3.9 boot image and an ubuntu 6.06 beta2 cd (changing things appropriately in the config file for the path of both images). I was under the impression that if I'm booting and installing from a cdrom, I don't have to format the disk partition ahead of time. I have 3 disk lines in the config file (one is the default). When I use the one with ioemu, the domain starts, with the attached output in xend.log, and nothing in xm dmesg. When I run xm list, the domain still lists 0.0 cpu time used, and I can't connect via vnc. When I use the disk line without ioemu, the domain starts and uses cpu time (as reported by xm), but the vnc output is totally and completely garbled, and my mouse cursor is just a dot in the window. The openBSD install starts okay with text, but freezes at the point where I'm asked to Install, Upgrade, etc. I also can't start the domains with the -c option, so that i can get information about the startup of the domains from a terminal, but i understand that this is normal. What could be happening here? Is some other piece of information needed to debug this? Or does HVM support just not practically work at all yet?
