Re: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.



that's what i needed to know.

so how do i upgrade my kernel? The one that comes with Xen is 2.6.18-xen and that's from doing a make world.

since the kernel is older the one that came with my system (desbian 5.0) i would like to upgrade it.

doing a google search on the subject does not return much of how to upgrade a kernel from 2.6.18.

what kernel version are you using?
what base OS?

My system is Gentoo with Kernel 2.6.29-xen-r4 which is 2.6.29.3
patched with opensuse xen patches
(http://code.google.com/p/gentoo-xen-kernel/downloads/list), Xen is
3.4.1.

I am not using gplpv drivers as there are no windows 7 builds yet,
although I noticed some code has been committed recently which
mentioned windows 7, so perhaps they will be available soon..

Here is the config I used:

cat /etc/xen/win7svr.cfg

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 = 2048
name = "win7svr"
uuid = "573b4798-4e19-410e-881d-c8e1b2ae57f8"
vcpus=8
cpuid=['1:edx=xxx1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,ebx=xxxxxxxx00010000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx','4,0:eax=001111xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx']

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:73:2d:f7:bd' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sasraid1/lv_win7svr,hda,w','file:/mnt/store/win7svrrtm/7600.16385.090713-1255_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot="d"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="10.0.4.2"
vncdisplay=19
vncpasswd='password'
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
keymap='en-gb'
