[Xen-devel] Installing Windows Server 2012 on Xen 4.2.1

[Steven Haigh <netwiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I downloaded the evaluation ISO from MS today and I've been trying to 
get it to install in a HVM with no success.
Config:
name            = "win2012.vm"
memory          = 2048
vcpus           = 1
cpus            = "1-7"
vif             = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=20:34:01:36:01:00, 
vifname=vif.win2012, bridge=br0' ]
disk            = [ 'phy:/dev/vg_hosting/win2012.vm,ioemu:hda,w', 
'file:/root/win2012-server.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot            = "dc"
kernel          = "hvmloader"
builder         = "hvm"
viridian        = '1'
usbdevice       = "tablet"
vnc             = 1
vnclisten       = "127.0.0.1"
vncdisplay      = 1 # port 5901
vncpasswd       = ''
localtime       = 1

## Enable PVHVM
xen_platform_pci= 1

Whenever I start the DomU, I get the quick windows flag splash, then a 
text error message:
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x00000000178BFBFF
0x0000000020000800
0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000

Has anyone come across this before?
