[Xen-users] Can't boot HVM domU

["Roberto Jung Drebes" <drebes.lists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello there,

I'm trying to boot a HVM domU to no avail.

My software platform is Ubuntu 7.04 running Xen 3.1.0. The kernel I
had to downgrade from Ubuntu's original 2.6.20 to Xen's 2.6.18-xen.

My hardware platform is an Athlon 64X2 3800+ running on a Asus M2A-VM
motherboard. I'm running the latest BIOS and virtualization support is
available and enabled on the BIOS.

I tried booting FreeBSD 6.2 (amd64), but it freezes with the BTX error
reported by other people when trying to boot FreeBSD in a HVM.

I tried booting Ubuntu 7.04 live CD, but after the VGA grub screen it
freezes with "Kernel alive", "Kernel direct mapping tables up to
18000000 @ 8000-a000".

I tried booting from the Windows 2000 install CD, but I don't get any
message at all.


My config file is very basic:

===

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

builder='hvm'

memory = 384

name = "MyHVMDomain"

disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/hvmexample.img,hda,w',
'file:/var/lib/xen/images/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

boot="d"

vnc=1
vncdisplay=1
vncpasswd=''
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
===

The output from "xm log" shows:

Is there anything I'm doing wrong or is it a problem with my platform?

Thanks in advance,
