hi.
i want to install windows 8 in an hvm (so i can update it).
but somehow i can't start the vm with an iso. (see output below)
[user@dom0 ~]$ qvm-start w8 --cdrom=data:/home/user/w8.iso
--> Loading the VM (type = HVM)...

libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new
domain 'w8'
what am i doing wrong?
i tried different isos, but the error is the same.
i get the same error, if i try to attach a nonexistent file. (but starting
the vm without an iso works (the vm starts and then shuts down, since there
is no bootable medium))
any idea how i can fix this?
Are you sure the path is correct? If so, check
/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for more details.
i am pretty sure the path is correct:
[user@data ~]$ ls -l /home/user/w8.iso
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 3758010368 Sep 16 2013 /home/user/w8.iso
in libxl-driver.log are more details, but nothing i understand
2016-07-25 22:01:39 CEST libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1671:stubdom_xswait_cb:
Stubdom 21 for 20 startup: startup timed out
2016-07-25 22:01:39 CEST libxl: error:
libxl_create.c:1339:domcreate_devmodel_started: device model did not start:

Stubdomain startup timeout. Probably something wrong with that 'data'
domain which serves as a backend for your iso image.
Is the 'data' domain based on minimal template? If so, install perl
there. Also check if you have xen-blkback kernel module loaded.
If none of this helps, check /var/log/xen/xen-hotplug.log in data VM and
/var/log/xen/console/guest-w8-dm.log in dom0.

yes it was a minimal template.
i installed perl and now it works. (the kernel module is loaded, too)
thanks a lot.
