[Fedora-xen] W2K CD installation error on guest

Mon Dec 4 22:29:13 UTC 2006

Yes I can see the directory contents. I was able to get past this CDROM
problem by disabling SELinux.

[root at localhost ~]# ls -l /edj

Lets test the image first.
So if you do the following 

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/myimage.iso

then you should me able to mount it

mount -o loop /tmp/myimage.iso /mnt

If you do this can you see the directory structure in /mnt

Unfortunately it's the same error as below. The file is definitely
there.

      Error: Disk image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso

	The dd command is the issue,it's not going to produce a valid
image.
	Youlre seeking 4096k and reading one block.
	Just do dd if=/dev/cdrom of=myimage.iso

	Thanks, Andrew. I've been going this direction with no success.
Here's what I've done so far:

	1.	Copy CD ISO to Fedora system 

	      dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/w2k3.iso bs=1024 seek=4096k
count=1

	1.	Edit config file /etc/xen/w2k3virt1 

	      disk = [ 'file:/xen/w2k3virt1,hda,w',
'file:/home/w2k3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

	1.	xm create -c w2k3virt1 

	      Error: Disk image does not exist: /home/w2k3.iso

		Check the virtual machine settings and see if the CD is
still configured.
		For example if you're w2k iso is in /opt/disks then make
sure you have something like the following

		disk = [ 'file:/ .. your harddisk image ....',
'file:/opt/disks/w2k.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ]

		I've been trying to install W2K on Fedora Core 6. I
found a previous post that recommended using "Standard PC" and this
helped me get past the original problem with a hung black screen. The
next problem I'm running into is that once the Windows installer boots
and begins the "Installing Windows" step, I immediately get this error
window:

		Setup was unable to access files need to continue. This
could be caused by an error on the CD Media or the CD is no longer
present in the drive.

		Any advice?

		Thanks,
