Actually I'm past that stage. That was the trick I used at step 7 of the steps in the knowledgebase article: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_108_10333.shtm It's done the System File Copy, shut down the vm, I've added in the cdrom file: statement to the xen config and restarted the vm. That's when it hangs/loops at a blue screen with "Setup is starting Windows" Was there anything missing from those published steps? Anything else I need to change in the xen config file?
Mine looks like this at the moment..... # Automatically generated xen config file name = "winguest" builder = "hvm" memory = "1024" disk = [ 'file:/xentest/wintel.dsk,hda,w','file:/xentest/W2003Std_DVD.iso,hdb:cdrom,r' ] vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:23:df:86, bridge=xenbr2', ] uuid = "75a3f0be-73d5-e27a-1f7b-1523c164dd2f" device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm" kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" vnc=1 vncunused=1 apic=1 acpi=1 pae=1 vcpus=2 serial = "pty" # enable serial console on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' I'm trying a 32-bit version of Windows 2003 Server due to documented issues with 64-bit, so is the device_model statement still OK? It still has reference to lib64.
