Re: [Xen-users] Windows VM no longer boots

[cjdl01 <cjdl01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I've been trying that... I've stripped it down to almost  
nothing, and flipped everything I can think of.
As far as an example config goes... I'm not finding much.  Everything  
out there is so old re: windows VMs.  I don't know why this would  
suddenly stop working unless there is some fundamental change to the  
configuration for hvm(s) or if I'm missing some component somewhere...  
but I cannot find what that would be.  I've installed pretty much  
everything on the system that has to do with Xen and Qemu for  
x86/x86_64 architectures.
If you have working config that you can share, that would be helpful.

thanks.
