Did anyone ever solve the issue of installing Win 2008 R2 on Xen? On 24/08/09 18:25, Robbie Garrett wrote:

I am able to use windows 2003 x64 R2 edition with no problem at all. It
installs and runs with no issues what so ever.

I am attempting to upgrade the kernel in hopes that it solves the issue with
windows 2008 x 64 R2.

Subject: RE: [Xen-users] windows 2008 x64 no cdrom.

Hello,

I have made the changed you requested and below is my config file.

I'm using xen 3.4.1 with kernel of 2.6.18.8-xen.  The problem is still

there

for me.

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
     arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
     arch_libdir = 'lib'


The above code has sometimes caused some problems for us... remove it and
change the device_model line to have lib64 instead of lib in the path. First
verify that /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm exists...


kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = '1024'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
name = "windows"
vif         = [ 'ip=204.124.181.89,mac=00:16:3E:FE:C2:02,vifname=windows'

disk =
['file:/windows/xenwin2008.img,ioemu:hda,w','file:/windows/winxpSP2.is
o,ioem
u:hdc:cdrom,r']

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

--
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1


Try removing both the above and below lines as well...

vncpasswd=''

#serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'

acpi=1
apic=1
pae=1
usb=1


Try removing the viridian=1 line as well.

viridian=1


Are there any log entries from qemu-dm or xend that say anything about
missing files?
