[Xen-users] Cannot complete WinXP installation under Xen

[Art Fore <art.fore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Running Suse 10.1 Xen kernel and trying to install win XP. (Machine is
amd64 X2 dual core mother board.)I first followed this howto
http://en.opensuse.org/Xen_Full_Virtualization_Example

However, qemu does not recognize the harddisk or cdrom.

So I went to Yast,System, Xen virtural machinemanagement.

I set up the machine,full virtualization, it starts up with CD install
of WinXP. Go through it, it gets up to about 1/3rd of the Registering
Components, which is the last thing. It them hangs the machine, both
mouse and keyboard. It was doing this about 2/3rds through the driver
installation, then I changed the nvidia to nv drivers in xorg.conf.

I was reading about maxmem_kb, but have not found out how to set that.
Machne has 2GBytes ram and I alocated 512 MByte to the virtual machine.
I get a line in messages about maxmem-kb =17GByte, so thought that may
be the problem. Anyhow here is the info from the /var/log/xend-debug.log
interface tun0 does not exist!
interface tun0 does not exist!
interface tun0 does not exist!
interface tun0 does not exist!
interface tun0 does not exist!

anf from the /var/log/xend.log I get:

Has anyone any suggestions on fixing this?

Also cannot install Win2k, Win98, and Knoppix. Trying to do Suse 10.0 takes 
about a minute per package, so I gave up.

I guess some people have gotten it to work with this motherboard (K9n neo). 
Would sure like to know the secret.
