I'm using Xen 3.1.0 on a Dual Opteron 2212. The AMD-V technology is
enabled by BIOS.

This is the win1.cfg file:

kernel  = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder = 'hvm'
memory  = '512'
device_modem = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
root    = '/dev/sda1 ro'
disk    = [ 'phy:vserver/win1-disk,sda1,w',
'file:/home/mattia/win2003stdita.iso,ioemu:hda:cdrom,r' ]
name    = 'win1'
vif  = [ 'ip=192.168.1.55' ]
boot = 'd'
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
sdl=0
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

All other Linux virtual machines works without any problems.

I still don't think the HVM BIOS supports booting from SCSI/SATA drives. Try using "hda" instead of "sda" (and of course change your "hda" for the CDROM to perhaps "hdb").

You don't need a "root" in HVM domains.

You also can't set the IP address in a HVM domain, you need to do that inside windows using the control-panel (I find it easiest to use DHCP - but that depends on if you have a suitably configured DHCP-server or not).

Where is the problem?

Thank you very much!
Bye.
