Hi, I'm having trouble installing Windows on a fully virtualized VM on CentOS 5. The installation hangs on the blue screen saying "Setup is starting Windows". The hardware is a dual processor dual core AMD Opteron 2218 with 8GB RAM and SATA disks, CentoOS 5 i386 will all patches applied. On the same machine I have successfully installed two VM's running CentOS 5, one paravirtualized and one with full virtualization. I have tried to install Windows 2003 server and Windows XP with the same result. The installation media are iso images of the Windows MSDN DVDs. When the installation hangs at the "Setup is starting Windows" screen the virt-manager shows 25% cpu utilization for the guest ( I think this represents 100% CPU usage for the guest as it has 1 vcpu assigned out the maximum 4 vcpus). I am running the virt-manager and the virtual machine console over ssh as dom0 has no X server installed. Has anyone seen this problem? Any suggestions?
AFAIK, Xen requires the guest OS to support Xen. I don't think we will see Windows supporting Xen soon.
And AFAIK MS license agreement requires a separate licensing for Windows to be used under any competitive virtual machine, but not for their own VM (Virtual PC). Monopoly, Monopoly, Monopoly.
