Hi,

what Motherboard do you have?

The ASUS M2NPV-?? seems to have problems with hvm.

Regards

Andreas

Forgive me if my etiquitte is a bit off, but I believe I have done my fair share of digging prior to posting. I am attempting to install a Windows XP Guest on a new FC6 xen build. I have dug through various postings, and I am positive that I have a VMX enabled processor and Xen seems to agree with me.

Where I am running into issue is with regards to the possibly infamous "blank/black" screen. After running through the CD install, and rebooting with "xm create <node>" and choosing not to boot from the CD, Xen seems to slide me over to a new screen where nothing happens. Any guidance or direction would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to see any success stories from folks running the AMD Virtualization technology.
