My OS is the latest debian etch。
and I have installed needed packages:
bcc, bin86,libsdl1.2-dev,libsdl1.2debian, libsdl1.2debian-all, 
libvncserver-dev, python-dev。

I download xen-3.0.2-src.tgz from xensource, and compile it:
make KERNELS="linux-2.6-xen0" install

Because the default xen cannot support sata disk, so failed:
kernel panic: .....

and I custom 2.6.16-xen0, so I can boot xen-linux sucessfully.
of course I have enable vmx support in bios。

I create a vmx configfile for windows2003: /etc/xen/win.vmx
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 300
name = "win"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
disk = [ 'file:/var/images/win2003..img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
cdrom="/home/hanwoody/win2003.iso"
boot="d"
serial='pty'
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0

and I run "xm create -c /etc/xen/win.hvm", but
SDL window cannot pop up. and log info in qemu-dm.log:
domid: 1
qemu: the number of cpus is 1
Connected to host network interface: tun0

Then I change win.hvm configfile:
...
...
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
.......

but I get log info from qemu-dm.log:

domid: 2
qemu: the number of cpus is 1
/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm: invalid option -- '-vnc'


I have tried it for about two weeks, But both sdl and vnc failed。

is it a problem of xen, or a problem of debian packages?


Thanks for your help!
