I just installed windows server 2003 x64 under snv_85,
seems to work ok.
The only problem was that it didn't reboot at first; on reboot
it was showing a gray gui screen, mouse was stuck and
the hvm domU was consuming some time. Closing
the SDL hvm window worked; using xm destroy on the
win2003 hvm domain worked, too. Win2003 didn't complain
about an unclean shutdown, so maybe it was just a problem
rebooting / resetting (via ACPI?) the machine?
After installing windows updates, the reboot problem seems
to be gone...
python config file for this win2003 x64 setup was:
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
memory = 1024
shadow_memory = 8
name = "win2003-64"
vcpus=1
vif = [ 'mac=2:76:d3:e4:73:1f,type=ioemu' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/zvol/dsk/files2/xen-win2003-64,hda,w'
, 'file:/files2/media/Win2003_64_DE_1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'preserve'
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
