[Fedora-xen] Probems installiing windows under xen in FC6

[Ian Brown]

Hello,
  I will give it a try in a couple of hours as I am right now not close to that
machine with the processors with VT support.

May I ask - is your disk is a SATA disk on non-SATA? (this is for the
disk = [ 'file:/extra/xen/hvm.img,hda,w', line, which in my case is
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/windisk.img,ioemu:sda,w' ]).


And :
Did you succeed in installing windows with this config file ?
Did you succeed in running windows under Xen ?

I am quite surprised that there is not (yet) an HowTo on this , which
seems to be a popular task theses days under FC6.

Regards,
Ian
