RE: [Xen-users] booting windows
You can install Windows without running Xserver on your Xen machine.
First edit the xend-config.sxp file. Add the option: (vnc-listen '0.0.0.0')
(otherwise, it will only listen locally on the Xen server.) Restart Xen after
changing this config.
In your guests config file, add the option: vnc=1
Boot your guest, and you will be able to use VNC to connect to the guest (using
the IP address of your xen-server). Only trouble I have here, is that the mouse
pointer doesn't move correctly all the time. During install this is not a real
problem, but when you want to manage your Windows installation, you're better
of using remote desktop.
Good luck!

This is the one I have been using but whenever I do a xm create my system
reboots. Would the driver for the video have anything to do with that, I am
using vesa? I was hoping I could install windows without a xserver installed,
can this be done?
I would still like to see someones config file that works with LVMs and and .iso
for the cdrom or at least tell me where mine is wrong.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = "winxp"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
################################################
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/xennet/winxp,ioemu:sda,w',
'file:/media/sda2/usr/local/src/WinXP/winxp_sp2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
### Line wrap but the above is one statement ####
device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
boot = "d"
sdl=1
ne2000=0
apic=1
pae=1
Thanks again for any help,
Jon
