RE: [Xen-devel] HVM and WIndows NT

["Cui, Dexuan" <dexuan.cui@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please try the latest developing trees to see if it would make a difference:
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg
http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
http://xenbits.xensource.com/git-http/qemu-xen-unstable.git


IIRC, Xen 3.3 once had some hvm guest's vga emulation issues (xen and qemu-dm 
are both involved); not sure if all the issues were fixed. BTW, if you have to 
use xen 3.3, why not use xen xen.3.3.2? It should have more backported fixed 
than xen 3.3.1.

PS, you may want to try vnc mode (namely, ensure sdl=0 and vnc=1 in guest 
config file; after creating guest, use 'vncviewer localhost:0' to connect to 
guest)

Thanks,

Hi everybody,
i'm currently trying to run Windows NT 4.0 on Xen.

I can install it with Xen 3.3 and CPUID below:
# Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU

cpuid = [
'0x00000000:eax=0x00000002,ebx=0x756e6547,ecx=0x6c65746e,edx=0x49656e69',

'0x00000001:eax=0x00000f12,ebx=0x00010808,ecx=0x00000000,edx=0x3febfbff',

'0x00000002:eax=0x665b5001,ebx=0x00000000,ecx=0x00000000,edx=0x007a7040',

'0x80000000:eax=0x80000004,ebx=0x00000000,ecx=0x00000000,edx=0x00000000',

'0x80000001:eax=0x00000000,ebx=0x00000000,ecx=0x00000000,edx=0x00000000',

'0x80000002:eax=0x20202020,ebx=0x20202020,ecx=0x20202020,edx=0x6e492020',

'0x80000003:eax=0x286c6574,ebx=0x50202952,ecx=0x69746e65,edx=0x52286d75',

'0x80000004:eax=0x20342029,ebx=0x20555043,ecx=0x30352e31,edx=0x007a4847',
          ]



But i have an issue with Video Card emulation of Xen 3.3.1 :
when i use Cirrus Logic emulation,
during display test the system crash with yellow or green screen.

It seems that Cirrus emulation didn't support the resizing.

If i try stdvga mode the videocard is not recognised by Windows NT.

I tried on KVM and it works fine with cirrus logic emulation.



Is there any way to update qemu-dm with current qemu version ?
