[Xen-users] Newbie need help windows server 2008 on XEN in Linux fails to start

[Aeliana <phdstudent@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I need help with a windows server 2008 or windows in general using in XEN:

Host: 

CentOS 5.3 Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-128.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 21

fstab:

machine: HP pavilion laptop dv9535ef  2G RAM, AMD Turion 2GHz, Nvidia 128 M
memory

The windows 2008 is installed on /dev/sda1 ,

I tried to make it work with XEN  using:

vi /etc/xen/win2008
kernel = "hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = 1024

shadow_memory = 8

name = "win2008"

acpi=1

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=br0, mac=00:16:3e:03:00:c8' ]

disk = ['phy:/dev/sda1,hda,w' ]

device_model = 'qemu-dm'

boot="c"

sdl=0

vnc=1

vnclisten="127.0.0.1"

stdvga=0

serial='pty'

soundhw='sb16'

It did not start giving the following:
[root@localhost xen]# xm create win2008

Using config file "./win2008".

Error: Kernel image does not exist: /etc/xen/hvmloader

[root@localhost xen]# 

Please tell me how can I run win2008 in Linux with XEN, I'm completely dummy
in it.

Thank you for the time.
