Re: [Xen-users] XEN and Dapper - III

Hello all again..

have created a new disk image again:

ls /xen-image/mnt -als
total 28
 4 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root       4096 2006-09-16 13:50 .
 4 drwxrwxrwx 3 root root       4096 2006-09-12 18:04 ..
20 -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5368710144 2006-09-16 14:08 winxp.img
root@John:~#

==================================================================
Started the image (winxp) again, using this config file:

acpi=0
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
name = "winxpt"
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
serial='pty'
memory = 512
disk = [ 'file:/xen-image/mnt/winxp.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'destroy'
on_crash    = 'destroy'
cdrom='/dev/hda'
# cdrom='/xen-image/mnt/winxp.iso'
boot='d'
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0

=============================================================
This is view of what is running as per XEN:

root@John:~# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      512     2 r-----   346.9
winxpt                             1      512     1 r-----  2686.1

======================================================================

The image is just sitting there "doing nothing", I see no screen /
consoles etc.

Do I have to enable / disable something else? Do I have to do something
with a network interface? I would not think so, as everything is "local"
at the moment.

Any pointers / help, much appreciated.
