I have a Supermicro H8DM8-2 with 2 Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2350 and 16G of memory.

I am trying to get a windows HVM to work. I was able to get the install cd booted and was able to install without too many issues. Crashing during install seemed to be resolved by flipping acpi and apic on in the xen config. However after the install on the first boot, after I flip the boot device to 'c' all I get is a black window.

Any ideas what is going on or how to resolve it?

Here is my cfg.

kernel      = '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/boot/hvmloader'
boot    = 'c'
builder = 'hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen-3.0.3-1/bin/qemu-dm'
memory      = '2048'
vnc='1'
vnclisten='172.16.0.49'
root        = '/dev/xvda1 ro'
disk        = [
                  'phy:/dev/xenhost-lvm/winxp-disk,ioemu:hda,w',
                  'file:/root/isos/winxp_sp2.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r',
              ]

acpi='1'
apic='1'
name        = 'winxp'
vif         = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'


Thanks
