[Xen-users] Problem with installing/running domU OS on HVM machine

[Simon Gao <gao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have problem installing or running domU OS (Windows XP or Redhat 7.3).
The machine runs CentOS 4.4 X86_64, Xen-3.0.3. Paravirtual domU works
without problem.

The problem is that when I run command "xm create <config>", nothing
would happen. hvmloader does not seem get started at all. I've tried
installing both 64bit and 32bit vnc, sdl but did not see any difference.

Anything special about installing domU over X86_64 dom0?

Simon
