Doesn't work, I have tried that: "I have also tried setting the hard
drive to hda"
When I do I this, It just won't recognize the disk at all. At boot, it says:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.
Check boot path and disk hardware. Please check the Windows
documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware
reference manuals for additional information."
No additional information is dumped to the logs.
There must be some secret to this...
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Betreff: [Xen-users] Trying to install windows as guest
Hello everyone,
I am trying to install windows xp as a guest OS. It runs
through the
installer just fine, but every time I reboot, it keeps
booting back to
the installer.
Here is my config:
------------<code>---------------------------------------
kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder="hvm"
memory=512
device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
name="win01"
vcpus=1
vif=['type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0']
disk = [ 'phy:vg/win01,sda,w','file:/mnt/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=0
vncpasswd=''
ne2000=0
boot='dc'
This should work:
disk = [ 'phy:vg/win01,hda,w','file:/mnt/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot='cd'
Regards,
Guido
-----------</code>----------------------------------------
I have tried changing removing the
"'file:/mnt/winxp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'"
line for the disk between reboots, but the thing will not create at
all without it! I have also tried setting the hard drive to
hda, and I
tried using ioemu... it does not help. I have also tried using the
physical cdrom (won't create when I do) and I have tried fully
qualifying the devices to "/dev/vg/win01" and the like, when
I do, the
hard drive is not found.
I keep getting this in my log file (don't know if it is significant):
medium change watch on `hdc' (index: 1): /mnt/winxp.iso
I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0
I am using gentoo, xen 3.3 with kernel 2.6.18-xen-r12 and LVM
2.02.36.
My gentoo guest VMs run without a hitch.
I'm really close here, but after hours of banging my head on
this, I'm
ready for some outside input. I appreciate the help
Thanks.
Chris
