You can use the GITCO repository (http://www.gitco.de/repo/) for newer versions of Xen (e.g. the proven 3.4.3). It's quite popular among CentOS users. :)

Yeah, that might work, *if* my current kernel is compatible with 3.4.3.

Also, its hard to tell if those rpms contain newer/older code than the CentOS el5 backport.

Will give it a whirl and update accordingly.

I still think its something to do with my config, however. No else appears to be having problems with 64-bit Windows.

Thx


Regards

Matej

That's pretty old. You might be able to fudge support via cpuid entries
in your config but I strongly suggest running a newer version of xen.


Its a CentOS RPM, so the major version isn't actually the major version,
as all updates after that major release are backported into the RPM.

The most recent version of the RPM is 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5xen, which I've
also tested with, but the behavior is the same.

In my OP, I noted that compiling-from-source was an option I wanted to
avoid, as it involves compiling a new kernel on a mission critical server.
