Hi,

I've made a copy of the harddisks of a Windows XP Pro. machine and now I'm 
trying to get this image running within Xen, but now I got stuck a little 
bit.

The Xen dom0 is a SLES10SP2, running Xen 3.2.0.

I used the virt-manager to create the virtual machine, however due to 
changed hardware, the boot process of the hvm domU ends up in a BSOD.
I found the WindowsPV GPL drivers version 0.8.9, where I copied the 
windowsxp *inf files to C:\windows\inf and the corresponding *sys files to 
c:\windows\system32\drivers. But I still get the BSOD when booting windows.

Or do I need to reconfigure the xen configuration of the domU, to make the 
PV drivers work? 

Otherwise I wonder, what hardware Xen emulates for a plain HVM guest, so 
that I can install the right drivers from the Windows installation CD.
So, which driver files belong into which place?

Any hint or just a pointer to the right documentation is be very 
appreciated.

kind regards
Sebastian
