RE: [Xen-users] Xen - Windows Server 2003 - Keyboard won't connectunder VNC



Thanks for this James,

Yes I could recompile. I was considering moving up to Etch and a Half but I note that support in the kernel for Xen is broken.

Given that this will have to be a production machine soon, I'll check for a backport and failing this, recompile the kernel with Xen 3.3.

The damnable thing about all this is that it is only affecting Windows. Just about every other O/S I have thrown at the current Xen setup has been fine, at least through the initial install phase . And VirtualBox works without a hitch.

Windows .............

Will report back.

Cheers
G.

Are you using the Etch Xen packages (3.0.3 or something equally old),
the Etch Backports Xen packages (3.2.1 I think), or have you installed
from XenSource (3.3.0)?

I could barely get the Etch packages running at all when I tried them,
but I used the ones from Backports for quite a while without any major
problems (except they are broken for windows 2008).

I highly recommend that you uninstall all the Debian Xen packages and
install 3.3.0 directly, assuming you are familiar with building kernels
etc.

James
