hello,

This is my first post.
My dom0 is openSuSE 10.2 with xen 3.0.3_11774-20

My hardware supports SVM and full virtualization.

I have been experimenting with a winxp vm installed with qemu-dm and the kernel hvmloader. This works as good as I can expect.

Now if you already have an existing multi-boot winxp install (in say /dev/sda1), are there any other kernels that can boot it as vm in Xen? Is this supported at all?

When I try with the qemu-dm/hvmloader it gets to
"booting from the hard disk"

then it freezes. However Xen at least makes a go.

----------------- winxpod config --------------
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda1,sda1,w',  'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
memory = 384
vcpus = 1
cpus = ""
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
name = 'winxpod'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu,mac=00:16:3e:21:c4:f8,bridge=xenbr0' ]
stdvga = 0
#ip = "192.168.1.108"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
gateway = "192.168.1.1"
#hostname = "xen"
vncdisplay = 1
#vif-script = vif-bridge
sdl = 1
vnc = 0
serial = "pty"
vncviewer = 0
ne2000 = 0
localtime = 1



boot = "c"
apic = 1
acpi = 1
pae = 1
----------------------------- end config ----------------------
