[Xen-users] Help trouble shooting why this SBS 2003 system won't boot!

[Errol Neal <eneal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I went and did it.... Okay, at least I'm trying to do it. I'm  
trying to perform a few dry runs on moving a Windows 2003 Small  
Business Server system running on a PowerEdge system to a Xen DomU  
running on a reasonably more powerful system.
Using a combo of loop devices, ntfs-3g, bartpe and LVM, I managed to  
clone my system to a logical volume. The NTFS partitions are healthy  
and can data can be viewed on both the dom0 using ntfs-3g and in  
BartPE on the domU. I ran fixboot and fixmbr in in the final stages of  
my dry run to see if I could actually boot. When trying to boot from  
the logical volume, the domU just hangs at the "Booting from Hard  
Disk" text. So I'm trying to get some help in determining where the  
problem could lie. Are there any known limits with respect to the size  
of the 'phy:' disk you can pass a domU?
One interesting thing is that the domU can't seem to determine the  
proper size of my logical volume. At the tail end of the disk  
description during booting, the size is described at (--)*(MB) or  
something like that if I can remember it correctly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Errol Neal
