Hi All,
I'm having a problem getting this HVM to stay up after boot, if anyone can offer assistance it'd be great.
It will start ok, then boot off the CD to install windows but once the Windows install loads its setup drivers and gets to the partition selection, the domU crashes and reboots.

Here is the config;
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader"
device_model = "/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm"
builder='hvm'
name = "prod-com-04"
vif = [ 'mac=00:50:56:0F:C2:25' ]
memory = 1024
shadow_memory = 8
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/eddie/com-04,hda,w' , 'file:/mnt/archive/win_2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot="d"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
acpi = 1
apic = 1

I've tried using a local disk image as well as the LV setup above but with no luck. Same again with sda instead of hda.

I'm not sure if it matters, but the LV is setup over iSCSI, I have some other Etch based hosts that work fine and the Dom0 is not having any issues with the iSCSI setup.

Thanks,
Mark
