Unfortunately that made no difference.

My updated domU config file is as follows:


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 = '1024'
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
#disk = [ 'phy:/dev/VolGroup00/win2k3,xvda,w', ',hdc:cdrom,r' ]
#cdrom = '/dev/cdrom'
boot = 'dc'
name = 'windows'
acpi = 1
apic = 1
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
vnc=1
vncdisplay=1
sdl=0


The error remains the same:

[2009-05-01 16:42:54 20070] INFO (XendDomain:1174) Domain windows (63) unpaused.
[2009-05-01 16:42:58 20070] INFO (XendDomainInfo:1634) Domain has shutdown:

failure: no longer running; see /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-windows.log

On occasion when I get vnc connected in time I see a brief "unrecognized" 
message appear on the screen before everything disappears.

Thanks,
Frans
