Windows itself is working without a problem, simply that it dosn't
reboot, and the domU has to be restarted, which is a bit of an
annoyance.

Do you have PV drivers running on the Windows guest?


Config file below.....

name="windowsxp-2"
ostype="windowsxp"
uuid="a7052f77-b1e9-d0be-c3fd-f0e5e2b44cad"
memory=1024
vcpus=1
on_crash="restart"
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"

My guess would be if you don't have PV drivers that Xen is treating the reboot as a power off and destroying the guest as the config file indicates. I believe you'd need PV drivers to convey the reboot to Xen.
