Hi ,
i am running xen 3.0.2 on FC5 and try to setup a full virtualized Windows Guest . the installation Program starts , but as soon as it shows the text Windows is starting in the left bottom, nothing more happens . i am attaching all needed information's :
and a pic of the screen :
any ideas ??
i tried with the newest version today :
kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2202_FC6 kernel-xen0-devel-2.6.16-1.2200_FC6 xen-3.0.2-4
when i start the guest , the system freezes and just reboots .

I've found similar problems installing a fully-virtualised RHEL-4 onto FC-5; RHEL-3 installs fine.
It seems that the IO emulation in Xen-3.0.2 (which is what FC-5 is using) has some problems in these cases. The rawhide kernel follows the upstream xen-unstable development branch, and that one works fine for RHEL-4 FV installs for me; does that help for you?
Thanks, Stephen
Hi ,
this is fixed in the xen-unstable repro since at least 2-3 Weeks, since that i never tried a redhat kernel, which kernel you are referring to , http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/... ?

Yes. That one tracks xen-unstable quite closely.

Hi ,
the kernel-xen0 rpm's seem pretty fresh, but the xen-3.0.2-4 is older than 1 month , so i expect my bug isn't fixed before you do a rebase on this package. when is that expected ?

The xen plus kernel-xen0 in rawhide works fine f or me and I have seen no reports of specific problems requiring an update, so there isn't any timetable for a rebase. It's probably about time to do one anyway, though. Can you reproduce the problem with the current packages?
