[Xen-users] XEN guest VM config issue for windows 2003 installation

["Madhu Venugopal (vmadhu)" <vmadhu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Am trying to install windows 2003 server as a guest VM over
Xen 3.4.1 (installed on Fedora 11). When I executed "xm create",
It fails with the error message : 

"Error: Domain 'win2k' does not exist."

Upon digging deeper, I could find that Qemu-dm fails for the 
Following reason :

<qemu-dm-logs>

        domid: 48
        qemu: the number of cpus is 4
        -append only allowed with -kernel option

<qemu-dm-logs>

That Configuration that I Fed to XM Create :

<config>

        kernel='/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
        builder='hvm'
        memory='3092'
        device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
        apic=1
        acpi=1

        root='/dev/cciss/c0d0p2'
        disk = [
'file:/home/xen/domains/win2003/win2003.img,ioemu:hda,w',
'file:/home/xen/domains/win2003/win-install-cd1.iso,hdb:cdrom,r']

        # Hostname
        name = 'win2k'
        cpus = "0-4"
        vcpus=4

<config>

Relevant Xend failure logs attached.

Can someone help spot the error in the configuration ?
Have a few specific questions :

1. Is the "root" configuration option important ? I see different errors
including
   it and excluding the same.
2. I suspect the "disk" configuration as well. I tried various different
options,
   But all of them failed.

Not sure if it is anything to do with the CCISS drivers again.

Can someone pls help ?

Thanks,
Madhu
