RE: [Fedora-xen] Unmodified 2003/2000/FC5 on XEN 3.0.2

[Ahamed K, Rafiq (HP)]

Hi Yong,
 
Yes! I have tried windows 2003 and windows 2000 also and same problem prevails "on
both". In the unsafe mode I can see that the drivers load on Windows 2003/2000 SDL VM
console until they load mup.sys.
 
I am not able to connect the serial output. I have followed almost all the techniques
given on the net for serial communication. This is my grub info.
 
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1024096 com1=115200,8n1 sync_console
        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ro root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0
pnpacpi=off
        module /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen0.img
 
Just to clarify, the serial output is basically connecting the serial port of the XEN
system to remote host and capturing the output right? (the way we debug load time
drivers??)
 
And my xm info is

Hi Rafig,

 

So you have tried Windows 2003 and 2000? And they all hang with the same phenomena? 

Did you try to get the serial output when VMX hang? The qemu-log seemed okay. Could you
tell more information such as Xen0 memory size and the VMX config you used? These could
help developers to shoot the bug. And you can also report bugs to Xen directly. :-)

I didn’t try them before. But I am sure someone has successful experience of creating
Windows XP VMX with Xen 3.0.2/

 

Best Regards,

Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

I can see that Windows Loads in VM  and when I run in safe mode it reaches until loading 

 

multi(0)¥disk(0)¥rdisk(0)¥partition(1)¥Windows¥system32¥drivers¥Mup.sys 

 

After this it hangs.Attached is the qemulog.

 

Note : These VM's are running out of a complete disk (/dev/sdb), which has working
installation of Windows on it!

 

I am running FC5 along with Xen 3.0.2 (tried unstable too) on Intel XEON VT-x server!

 

Any help would be great! Rafiq
