Hi,
Many thanks for the great note! This helped me a lot!!
Still, I have some problems in installation of Windows.
I stuck at the "Setup is Starting Windows" blue window where installation hungs.
I tried F5 to select HALs, tried "Standard PC" and others many times,
but it did not solve the problem.
The version I use are 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5xen0 and xen-3.0.2-3.FC5.
I could install Linux on as a fully virtualized guest.
Did you choose "Standard PC"?
Did you try 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5xen0 as well?
Best Regards,
Sachiko
6) "Setup is Starting Windows" - install hangs
This one got me for a long time. I think the problem only
occurs on system which have more then 4(maybe 8) cpus - so
not everyone is seeing it. The WindowsXP install starts,
we get the 'BlueScreen' and some nice messages as hardware
is probed out. Then the install just hangs with the last
message displayed in the bottom corner of:
Setup is Starting Windows
I was stuck here for a few days - until the following snippet
was posted to the xen-devel alias to help me past this point:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-06/msg00208.html
In that posting is the following little tidbit:

> Standard PC

So - 'press F5' when it says 'press F6'. Whooda thunk
