[Xen-users] Windows 2008 installer hangs on Xen 3.2
Hi all,
I am trying to install Windows 2008 R2 Web edition (64-bit) in a
fully-virtualized guest on Xen 3.2. The problem I am having is that the
installer is hanging immediately at the graphical "Starting Windows"
screen. In safe mode, the last driver loaded is disk.sys.
The server hardware is a Dell PowerEdge R710, with 2 Intel Xeon E5520
processors, and 72 GiB RAM. I am using the hypervisor and Dom0 kernel
packages from Debian Lenny -- xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 version 3.2.1-2
and linux-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 version 2.6.26-21 respectively.
Is this a known problem with this particular version of Xen? I would
prefer not to have to upgrade Xen if possible, as it is working perfectly
well with other guest OSs and on other server hardware.
I have attached the relevant bits of my Xen domain config below.
Any assistance with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
