RE: [Xen-users] Windows 2003, scsi to ide

["Artur Linhart - Linux communication" <AL.LINUX@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

        I think the problem could be in the fact, vmware reported to the
W2k3 other devices, like reports xen - so in this case I would expect the
w2k3 system will not run - like if You change the motherboard on the windows
box, You have also heavy problems to boot the system again.

        I would propose to test following procedure:

- in device manager of Windows runing under vmware remove the affected
devices and drivers which could make problems, do not recogize new one and
shut down the vmware domain
- migrate it to xen and start there the domain in the emergency mode (press
F8 before start, etc.)
- if it boots, then You have won :-) - and then You just have to go into the
device manager and scan the HW changes and install the new drivers for the
devices reported to windows by xen

        With best regards

                Artur Linhart

It may not be described as working for Win2K3, but I would have thought
that it should work fine. The method of recognizing devices and loading
the corresponding drivers is identical between XP and 2K3 [the actual
kernel in both is identical modulo some minor bugfixes and updates that
are out of sync].

I haven't actually done it, but I expect it to work.
