[Xen-users] Xen 3.0.3 with a AMD X2 processor

[Franco Spinelli <frspin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to install WinXP in a DomU on my new machine.

My tests are made with:

Hardware : MB Asus M2NPV-VM with Nvidia chipset and 1 Gb RAM
           AMD Athlon X2 processor (dual core - SVM capable)
Software : Ubuntu 6.06 and Ubuntu 6.10 both for i386 and for AMD64

Xen : last binary tarball 3.0.3 for 32 bit SMP and for 64 bit SMP

I am able to install xen and boot xen kernel. Xen kernel show SVM as enabled
When I start xp virtual machine (no network, for test only), with this 
configuration:
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 256
name = "winXP"
acpi=1
apic=1
disk=['file:/media/hda2/tmp/xp.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/media/hda2/tmp/cd_xp.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
boot="d"
sdl=1
vnc=0
serial='pty'

XP install start but I can't use any function key (F5 or F6). Install 
procede to disk formatting and copy files.
After this XP install need to reboot machine. After reboot I get a blank 
screen and an idle Domu, after (apparently) 2 screen resize.
xm list show   -b---- status

Test made with acpi and apic on or off, with 32 bit or 64 bit versions 
give all same result.
Also moving image file on Sata or IDE disk don't change anything.

Windows XP installed directly on this machine is correctly working as is 
correctly working Ubuntu Linux and Dom0 linux
Is my MB unsupported by current Xen version?

Regards

Franco
