  • Thread-topic: Xen Windows Virtualization

Hello,

 

I am currently using a Dell Poweredge SC 1435 at the moment and am trying to virtualize windows on xen however it seems windows does not really understand what its supposed to do.

Anyone have an idea what could be the problem I think there is something windows doesn’t understand from the virtualized hardware.

 

With WinXP I get a black screen on reboot (with a grey bar at the bottom of the screen)

Win 2k3 hangs on the windows setup screen

And Vista simply errors out with a blue screen at boot with the following error

 

*** STOP 0x0000005c (0x00003000, 0x00000001, 0x00000008, 0x00000000)

 

I didn’t expect vista to work to be honest but I tried anyway.

 

I am using a Debian net install

Kernel 2.6.18-4-xen-amd64

 

Following I attached the xm dmesg and config file of winxp

Any ideas or tips would be appreciated

 

P.S. I have succeeded in virtualizing a Linux distro in a HVM environment already

 

Kind regards,

Licijn de Jong
