Hi, I've a problem: I've the same config file, xen 3.0.3 installed from
source.
I can start windows in a domU but I can't see it with graphic.

If I type "xm list" I can see it in the list and the time is not 0 (i think
that a number that is not 0 it's ok... isn't it?).

if I start it with qemu it work fine but without network (in the hardware
list thereis a network card).

Here I posted a log of qemu-dm:

domid: 5
qemu: the number of cpus is 1
shared page at pfn:1ffff, mfn: 1c10f
buffered io page at pfn:1fffd, mfn: 1c111
False I/O request ... in-service already: 0, pvalid: 0, port: 0, data: 0,
count:
 0, size: 0


And my config file is:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
memory = 512
name = "winxp"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'file:/vserver/images/winxp.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
cdrom='/dev/hdd'
ne2000=0
boot='c'


I've installed Windows with qemu but also if I try to install it with xen
and a blank image file, it doesn't boot...

If compiled the kernel with TUN/TAP module, any support for graphic card ad
IDE/SATA controller (they work fine).

Any suggestion?

CPU is Athlon 3800+ X2 with AMD-V, MB is ASUS M2V.

Thanks
