Hello,

my problem is, that I cannot start a windows7 domU on xen4 running with debian squeeze. If I leave out the vif config parameter (just commented it out) everything works fine and I can connect through it via VNC. But without networking.

I already spent some hours of googleing, nut didnt find a solution. Maybe I used the wrong terms.

What can I try else to get it running?

Following:
xm create /etc/xen/domains/windoof2.sxp
Using config file "/etc/xen/domains/windoof2.sxp".
Error: Domain 'win7prof' does not exist.

The detailed error is:

[2011-04-30 19:08:57 1624] WARNING (image:552) domain win7prof: device model failure: pid 23718: malfunctioning (closed sentinel), killed; see /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-win7prof.log <-- (log file empty)

My Linux:

Linux apollo 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 00:01:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux


My xen-config:


kernel = '/usr/lib/xen-4.0/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
memory = '512'
device_model='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
shadow_memory = 8

# Disks
disk = [ 'file:/etc/xen/windoof.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/media/raid/Windows_7_Professional_(x86)_-_DVD_(German)/de_windows_7_professional_x86_dvd_x15-65812.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

# Hostname
name = 'win7prof'

# Networking
#vif = ['type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0']
#vif = ['type=ioemu']
vif = ['']

# Behaviour
boot='c'
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
sdl=0
#vncunused = 0
#dhcp = 'dhcp'




Regards

Bastian
