Hi,

We have a XEN Server running on CentOS 5.5. Details are given below.


GUEST CONFIG
############

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
import os, re
memory = 1024
shadow_memory = 8
name = "win2008r2-01-server"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]

dump "type=ioemu", you don't need it. You SHOULD add a "mac=xxxxx"
part though. Otherwise weird things can happen (like windows keep
saying it's not activated no matter what you do)

acpi = 1
apic = 1

you need "pae=1" as well

disk = [ 'file:/vm/win2008r2-01.img,hda,w',
'file:/root/iso/w2008rc2.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

don't use "file:/". Use "tap:aio:/"

device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''

I'd usually dump "vncconsole=1". Better use "xm vncviewer" manually later.

I had a similar problem, and the way I fixed it was I re-downloaded the ISO, so it may of just been bad media for me.

With the Technet/MSDN ISO and the official OEM DVD I was getting BSOD just like you, after it loaded files, prior to GUI with STOP message "bad_system_config_info".

However I downloaded the evaluation ISO at http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/5/E/75EC4E54-5B02-42D6-8879-D8D3A25FBEF7/7601.17514.101119-1850_x64fre_server_eval_en-us-GRMSXEVAL_EN_DVD.iso and it worked fine, and activated with my OEM key.

YMMV HTH

May the ping be with you ..
