My end goal: To setup a dom0 Linux server, running 64bit Linux (for

top of it.
that shouldn't be that tricky.
So far, I have tried:
CentOS 5.1 + default XEN, no luck
CentOS 5.1 + recompiled XEN 3.2, no luck
haven't tried CentOS or Fedora yet
I'd prefer to stick with these, since I know it very well, and our
control panel manufacturers recommend it.
I don't even get as far as Windows CD booting up, I don't even get
the console.
Console? You need to use VNC or if you're running an X-server on your
dom0 you could also use SDL. Did you try to start Windows with "xm
create <config> -c"?
Yes, I have started the domU via xm create -c /etc/xen/windows2003, and
can see it running as well. The problem comes into connecting to you,
and now that you mention it, I probably need VNC, but how do I tell VNC
to assign an IP to that domU if Windows is not running yet (and I
haven't created an IP for it yet)?
I have been able to setup Windows 2003, using virt manager in Gnome, on
CentOS 5.0 x64, but I need to set it up via SSH on a remote server. Any
tips?
The I have tried Ubuntu Server 8.0.4, and had some weird, first time
errors, that no one had seen, and I had to fill a bug report.
Ubuntu 8.04 Server is running smoothly here. 64bit dom0, serveral
linux domUs and a 32bit Windows XP domU. Maybe you could send us the
link to your bug-report, so maybe we could sort it out?
I did't submit a bug report, since this will be used in a production
hosting environment, I didn't want to sit with problems. So I have
removed Ubuntu, and installed CentOS again
So, I have tried Fedora Core 7, and it kept hanging on bootup if I
boot up with the default Xen kernel. When I bootup without Xen, it
boots fine.
The server will be in a production hosting environment, so I need to
know that the combination I use will be stable. Can someone please
make a good recommendation for this?
There were 2 or more huge threads here, which covered this question.
Just search the mailinglists archives. I found this link for example:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-05/msg00484.html
Which is why I didn't even bother downloading Fedora Core 9 :)
I'd prefer to stick to CentOS, but I'm downloading FC 8 now, to see how
it performs
