Re: [Xen-devel] Unmodified Windows etc on XEN 3.0 with Intel/VT or AMD/Pacifica

[Adam Wendt <adam@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

None of these suggestions are sure fixes, but give these a try, one might work.

vcpus=1 (i don't think vmx supports more than 1 cpu yet)

try different combinations of acpi and apic 0:0, 1:0, 0:1, 1:1

are you sure /dev/sr0 is mountable and has the win2k install cd? I haven't
actually tried windows 2000, only windows xp and windows 2003
