[Xen-users] installing Windows 2008 R2

[Adam Wead <awead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've been trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 under Xen 3.1 on  
Red Hat, but it keeps blue screening after the first reboot during the  
install.  It seems to only affect 2008 R2.  Windows Server 2008  
installs fine, rebooting a couple of times along the way.
With R2, it will go through the initial unpack and install, and then  
it reboots.  I'm installing it with virt-manager and I can watch it  
try to restart the guest, but unsuccessfully.  xend-debug reports this  
(a lot):
Exception in thread Thread-50540:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/threading.py", line 442, in __bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/threading.py", line 422, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/ 
XendDomainInfo.py", line 1660, in sxpr
    self.getDiskConfigurations()))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/ 
XendDomainInfo.py", line 1630, in getDiskConfigurations
    config = vbd.configuration(disk)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/blkif.py",  
line 119, in configuration
    result = DevController.configuration(self, devid)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/xen/xend/server/ 
DevController.py", line 251, in configuration
    raise VmError("Device %s not connected" % devid)
VmError: Device 768 not connected

I'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues...  I'd probably be  
okay with going with just 2008, but there was a big security patch  
release with R2 and I'd prefer to use it.
Many thanks in advance,
