Hi Yonkang, you are right, grub is installed on /dev/sda and i can choose which OS i want to boot. i still can't boot the windows system from my first partition using this config file (any ideas what's wrong here ?). name = "WinXPPro_xendom1_local" builder = "hvm" memory = "512" disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda,hda,w' ] vif = [ 'type=ioemu,bridge=xenbr0,mac=00:16:3e:63:72:e2' ] on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader' device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm' sdl = 1 # use SDL for graphics vnc = 0 # use VNC for graphics vncviewer = 0 # spawn vncviewer by default if i create the domain with 'xm create WinXPPro_xendom1_local' everything looks good, no errors shown. xm list shows: Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 2504 2 r----- 320.7 WinXPPro_xendom1_local 4 512 1 -b---- 0.0 also, where can is see why it stops and how far the boot process went ? any hints very welcome ! regards, Matthias > Hi Matthias, > > I think the bootloader is installed at /dev/sda, which can select to boot the Windows XP partition right? > You can modify /etc/xen/xmexample.hvm to change to following configuration and create the VMX with it. > disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sda,ioemu:hda,w' ] > sdl=1 > vnc=0 > vncviewer=0 > > Creating Windows VMX has no difference with other unmodified Linux. > > Best Regards, > Yongkang (Kangkang) 氞康 > ________________________________________ > From: fedora-xen-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-xen-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Matthias Bayer > Sent: 2006幎4æ??4æ?¥ 19:16 > To: fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [Fedora-xen] configuration for windows image with VT machine > > Hi, > > i have a brand new system with VT technology (HP XW4300). > i am running FC5 with XEN kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0 on it. > on the harddisk (/dev/sda) there are two partitions. sda1 has a native windows XP system installed while sda2 is /boot and sda3 is / for the FC5 system. > > now i want to run the windows system under xen control using the installed windows system on the first partition. > > what would i need to configure to make this work ? > how does the config file needs to look like ? > is there a documentation available on how to make windows run unmodified under xen ? > > any hints welcome ! > > Thanks. > > > ! > > SMS schreiben mit WEB.DE FreeMail - einfach, schnell und > kostenguenstig.
