Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [SeaBIOS] Xen HVM Support
Hi,
yesterday i tried to boot Windows7 64bit with the new "Upstream Qemu with
Seabios" HVM loader under xen unstable (yesterdays hg pull)
The Windows Installer booted fine from the ISO (after enabling El-Torrito
Emulation in Seabios menuconfig), but the Windows Installer soon gave up with a
BSOD (STOP 0xA5), much like stated here http://www.coreboot.org/SeaBIOS under
"Windows".
I have a Screenshot from the BSOD in case the adresses are of any interest.
Any hints, or is this supposed to not work (yet) ?
Greetings
Tobias
