[Xen-users] New to Xen, tried to get Win 7 running in DomU

[Sandi Romih <the.romihs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am new to Xen, and to learn about it, I installed a Xen hypervisor with Debian squeeze as Dom0 per these (http://wiki.debian.org/Xen) instructions.

The Xen hypervisor boots up fine, at least it seams to be fine.

I then created a DomU with Win7 on it as per these instructions (http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Installing_and_Running_Windows_7_as_a_Xen_HVM_domainU_Guest).

However, the domain enters b state soon after it is started. I have not been able to install anything...

Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)

Domain-0                                     0 23083    12     r-----     56.8

xenwin7                                      2  1024     1     -b----     11.0

I checked out the log file for the VM, and I see some errors, but I haven't as to their meaning... Below is the log file:

I'll be honest, I have not googled for this error.

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Sandi
