RE: [Xen-users] Windows 2003 DomU reboots sentire erver on create
I tried using vnc instead of sdl and it still crashed. Where can I get
3.0.4? The most recent version on the website seems to be 3.0.3?
The released 3.0.4 source can currently only be accessed via Mercurial:
hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.0.4-testing.hg
It'll be released properly from the download pages once packages have been
built, pages updated, etc.
I imagine the crash is probably a bug in Xen itself, so how you configure
the display would probably not make a difference.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Mark

I was using the Gentoo version which is 3.0.2. I did realize it looks
like XWindows is required for installing Windows, so I am installing
that now. I didn't realize that, I was trying to run it from a
console.
You could probably run without X if you exported the Windows guest's
display over VNC.
It still seems odd it would reboot the server as opposed to failing
with
an error, however.
Indeed. That's definitely a bug, no question about it. However, it's
quite
possibly been fixed in a later Xen release. The version of Xen you're
running is fairly old and there have been fixes to the HVM code since
then.
I really would recommend you download 3.0.4 and try that in place of the
stock Gentoo version - you'd have a better chance of it working.
I was planning on 32 bit Windows. I had read you could still run 32bit
versions of DomU on a 64bit Dom0. I'd like to keep Dom0 at 64bit for
options with memory for the future.
That's fine. You can run 32-bit, or 32-bit with PAE guests on a 64-bit
Xen/dom0.
Cheers,
Mark

I'm trying to get a Windows 2003 domu running, and I'm having
difficulties. Any help would be much appreciated! About the server:
It's an IBM x series running AMD64, x64 install of Gentoo Linux.
I have it up and running with a pretty standard Xen 3.0 install, and
the
Linux domUs work perfectly.
When I try to start Windows 2003, the whole server completely reboots.
I am following the Xen Windows Howto PDF.
This is definitely some kind of bug in your version of Xen.
What point release are you installing? i.e. 3.0.[01234] or -unstable?
I'd
recommend upgrading to the latest release (which is 3.0.4) to test
whether
your problem still occurs.
Also, you're presumably installing 64-bit Win 2k3? If you were to try a
32-bit install I have a hunch it'd work OK. I realise that probably
doesn't
solve your problem though... Last I remember, 64-bit support for
Windows
was a bit less mature than 32-bit support, so presumably there may
still
be
some kinks.
We may want to take this to the xen-devel list as a bug, if we can't
work
out some other solution. Good luck in the meantime!
Cheers,
Mark
Here's a basic config I am using that is based on the howto, other
then
that I am using a file as the filesystem rather then an LVM:
kernel = '/usr/lib64/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = 'winxendefault'
vif = [ ' ' ]
disk = [ 'file:/xen_fs/win2k3_1,hda,w' ]
cdrom='/xen_images/win2k3_cd.iso'
boot='d'
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
