Hi,
I've tried to bring the 32bit WinXP guest up on the Fedore Core 6-xen. My
xen release is 2.6.17-1.2647.fc6xen and version #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 13:26:53
EDT 2006. xen_caps are xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p. My
machine is running the Fedora Core 6 i686. The problem is that when I booted
the WinXP guest, it crashed. Here are some debugging info:

Any ideas what went wrong? Please help me. Thank you.
This is a bug in the HVM emulation layer. In some cases it needs to emulate
instructions, but it looks like WinXp issues one it was unable to emulate
yet. I checked upstream xen-unstable.hg repository there's still no support
for this. Please enter a bugzilla ticket with the details from this mail so
the problem can be tracked. I'm afraid there's no immediate work around I
can think of to make this work, so you might want to try Windows 2k instead
which I believe has been getting more upstream testing than XP
Regards,
Dan.
