Since posting this (and getting an example of a known good Windows xm
config file which didn't make any difference), I've discovered a few
things and gotten a little further. First I noticed that the qemu-dm
logs for my Windows machine were tiny. One complete example:
% cat qemu-dm-177.log
Watching /local/domain/0/device-model/177/logdirty/next-active
Watching /local/domain/0/device-model/177/command
warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
Could not initialize device 'tap'
I hadn't needed a tap interface for any of my Linux domains. So I built
and installed the module for dom0, then had to modprobe it by hand.
That got me past this error and on to:
[...]
shift keysym 003e keycode 52
shift keysym 003f keycode 53
bind() failed
bind() of what failed? Well, comparing this to the log for a working
Linux machine, the next thing after all the shift keysym/keycode lines
was "char device redirected to /dev/pts/12". Right or wrong, that made
me think of serial lines. My Windows config (but none of my Linux) had
serial='pty'
...so I commented that out. Now the qemu log still ends on an ugly
looking line:
I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0
...but the Windows install CD has booted! Hooray! Now on to seeing if
I can turn this into a working system.
