RE: [Xen-users] Xen 3.3.0 and setting up Windows

["Jay" <jayllo@xxxxxxxxx>]

It sits at

"Press any key to boot from CD...."

That's the screen I see along with the bios boot when I connect with vnc.

However, I can't seem to get to accept input to get past that point.

Thanks,
Jay

Get the latest 2.6.27 release candidate

vncconsole was deprecated in favor of

Get rid of vnconsole=1 and replace it with:
vncviewer="yes"
(You still also need the vnc=1 for it to work.)

Hope that helps,
