Windows XP install failed on FC6-Xen

[NoisilySilent]

Hi,

 

Installation hangs after first reboot during Windows XP installation
procedure.

System first boots from CD as expected, formats an NTFS file system, copies
installation files, reboots and . hangs.

Looking at the log, I had a "vncpasswd error" => created a vncpasswd and got
rid of this error message.

Now, no error is logged, but still I get a blank screen whenever I try to
"xm create" this Windows host.

System is a Dell Latitude D620 notebook, Intel Core2 Duo processor, FC6
downloaded last week, Xen installed via YUM, so I don't know exactly which
version yum installs, 3.?.?

 

Anybody got clues, as I didn't find anything through google search?

 

Cheers

[MJang]

I remember having to press something like F5 or F6 during the XP install
process to actually get something after the first XP install reboot.

Thanks,

F8 is likely.

Ok, thank you for the tip.
However, when am I supposed to press F8?
Just before reboot?

Cheers

I installed windows on fc6 x64 as follows:

1. first stage of installation ( just to when winsp tried to re-ipl) 
I run on qemu. Actually qemu and xen use the same format of disk emulations.

2. After when winxp asked to re-boot, I constructed .hvc file with disk from
first stage and it worked OK since then.

Hope this helps.

OK, I finally made it!!

So for those willing to install Win XP on Dell Latitude D620, these are the
steps:

1) Press F5 at the very beginning of Win XP installation, just when it asks
to press F5 for additional RAID support.
2) This pops up a new selection caption where you can choose your hardware
architecture: do not choose ACPI architecture. I took "Standard PC"
3) Don't forget to add a cdrom device to your xen WinXP conf file, else it
will reboot but won't find the source disc

Win XP installs and reboots perfectly. Needless to say mouse management is a
bit crappie ;-) but TSE access to the Windows system is simply great (using
rdesktop)!!

Thanks for your help and replies

Cheers

Thanks for the steps. They really worked. Using them I have installed
Windows XP Professional on my Redhat Enterprise 5.
Here's a screenshot after I was able to successfully install it.

Thanks once again.

[Selim Jahangir]

Hi guys
I am really in trouble now with installing xen rpm on RHEL5 Client. 
I have installed RHEL5 Desktop first and then I was trying to install
xen-3.0 rpm from cdrom and it says lots of dependency error. If i try to
install by typing

yum install xen , it says no matching found.

What can I do to install xen please come forward with your experience
not theory 

Regards
selim
