[Fedora-xen] configuration for windows image with VT machine

[Matthias Bayer]

Hi again,

the windows system is SP2 with latest patches. 

i see really strange behaviour with the grub boot entries - i have removed the DomU kernel entries and after a reboot now when i want to start the installed windows system the changed entries are active but the startup immediately crashes after the popup windows shows up - moving back the entries and starting the system under xen control doesn't reflect the changes within grub but the system tries starting again ......but fails with the old problem.

looks like xend does not recognize changes of grub inside DomU without a restart .......

so .. i have no more ideas how to make this work .. windows using a 'file' instead booting from the real partition works fine.

maybe upgrading fixes some of this problems, hopefully.

any more help very welcome :-)

regards,

matthias

EM~. I remember I can start up a Windows XP SP2 disk image file in the FC5 IA32, which is kernel-xen0-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5.i686.rpm kernel-xenU-2.6.15-1.2032_FC5.i686.rpm
xen-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm

I am not sure of the problem you met. Is it SP1 or SP2? 

A little trouble suggestion is to get latest Xen source 9543, build/install it. I know there are a lot of bugs fixing, such as installation etc. And this version should be a good one for basic VMX. (It can start up Redhat distributions, Windows XP SP1/SP2 and finish a lot of installation.) If really want it, I can give some helps.

While, I am also very eager for the FC5 great updating RPMs for Xen. The update RPMs will bring many conveniences for end users. Maybe Xen 3.0.2 will be in FC5 update soon, as it is very closing. :)
