Re: [Xen-users] Re: Trying to install Windows in Xen

["Sachiko Yoshihama" <sachiko.yoshihama@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I had the same problem that the machine reboots at Windows installation, when I was using 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5xen0.
The problem does not happen on the latest 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5xen0.
Perhaps you can update "kernel-xen0" and "xen" to the latest version.

The following mail archive is also very helpful.

Tried that - same results, next is to go to xen-unstable and try it there but when I do that, I'm getting into other/maybe-unrelated startup issues (excerpt from the xend.log):

Hi,

Just a thought but, have you tried using an ISO file instead of /dev/cdrom?
