Greetings all,

I'm having an issue getting a winxp hvm running.  It will install just fine 
from iso, but then when I change the .cfg file to boot from 'c', it will give 
me:

invalid boot.ini
file booting from c:\windows
ntdetect failed

Please see the below config file:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = 512
shadow_memory = 8
name = "winxp"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
#vif = [ 'ip=10.1.10.5, vifname=veth0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:onyx_vg/xen-win_xp,hda,w', 
'file:/var/builder/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot="c"

sdl=0
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''
vnclisten = "127.0.0.1"
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "destroy"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
