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
