Re: [Xen-users] URGENT help please!

[Ryan Worsley <R.C.Worsley@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the sake of archives that may help others I'm responding to my own 
question;
The problem was that the line;

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:94, bridge=xenbr0' ]

causes problems and stops the machine loading, don't know as yet what 
the problem is but changing to
vif = [ ' ' ]

allows the VM to boot, it's also worth noting that I needed to change 
the disk line to;
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sys_vg/windows_os,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/var/scratch/windows_xp_corp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
to get it to see either disk correctly.  Windows appears to be 
installing - and quickly.
Thanks,

Ryan.
