Hi,

trying to install Windows 2008 Small Business Server 64bit on Xen 3.4 on 
opensuse 11.2. 

The install runs fine, but after the first reboot, the VNC console shows:

boot mgr is missing

When I try to repair that with the install CD, I cannot see the previously 
installed C: partition, as if drivers are missing or something.

Does any know of Windows 2008 SBS is installable at all? I've recently 
installed a regular Windows 2008 Server on Xen 3.2 and that was not an issue. 
R2 was of course.

This is my config file:

name="win1"
uuid="c157bc27-b978-0e46-c799-3b7bc64eb0ac"
memory=8192
maxmem=8192
vcpus=2
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"
on_crash="destroy"
localtime=1

builder="hvm"
extid=1
device_model="/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot="d"
#disk=[ 'phy:/dev/mapper/win1c,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/mapper/win1d,hdb,w', 
'file:/mnt/nfs1/DVD1_Installation.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]
disk=[ 'phy:/dev/mapper/win1c,hda,w', 
'file:/mnt/nfs1/DVD1_Installation.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]
vif=[ 'bridge=br0,model=rtl8139', ]


stdvga=0
vnc=1
vncunused=1
apic=1
acpi=1
pae=1

usb=1
usbdevice='tablet'

serial="pty"


Thx!

Bart
