Hi Rafiq,

Sorry for response later.
The configuration should be right for FC5. 

I notice you build out
Xen source yourself. You can try with this configuration:

root (hd0,0)

        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=262144
com1=115200,8n1 

        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ro
root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0

        module /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen0.img

I can use above grub
config to boot xen with serial output.

I suggest you can use
Windows XP as the Windows guest testing. J

BTW, you Xen is pae
enabled. But now the feature of “pae VMX on pae Host” is not supported. So you
have to do some configuration in Windows to avoid VMX run into pae mode. J (Windows XP SP1 should not be pae enabled default.)

Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

Hi Yong,

Yes! I have tried
windows 2003 and windows 2000 also and same problem prevails "on
both". In the unsafe mode I can see that the drivers load on Windows
2003/2000 SDL VM console until they load mup.sys.

I am not able to
connect the serial output. I have followed almost all the techniques given on
the net for serial communication. This is my grub info.

root (hd0,0)

        kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1024096
com1=115200,8n1 sync_console

        module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 ro
root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 console=tty0 pnpacpi=off

        module /boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen0.img

Just to clarify,
the serial output is basically connecting the serial port of the XEN system to
remote host and capturing the output right? (the way we debug load time
drivers??)

And my xm info is

Hi Rafig,

So you have tried Windows
2003 and 2000? And they all hang with the same phenomena? 

Did you try to get the
serial output when VMX hang? The qemu-log seemed okay. Could you tell more
information such as Xen0 memory size and the VMX config you used? These could
help developers to shoot the bug. And you can also report bugs to Xen directly.
J

I didn’t try them before.
But I am sure someone has successful experience of creating Windows XP VMX with
Xen 3.0.2/

I can see that Windows Loads
in VM  and when I run in safe mode it reaches until loading 

multi(0)\disk(0)\rdisk(0)\partition(1)\Windows\system32\drivers\Mup.sys

After this it hangs.Attached
is the qemulog.

Note : These VM's are running
out of a complete disk (/dev/sdb), which has working installation of
Windows on it!

I am running FC5 along with
Xen 3.0.2 (tried unstable too) on Intel XEON VT-x server!

Any help would be great! Rafiq
