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. :-)
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. :-) (Windows XP SP1 should not be pae enabled default.)
Best Regards,
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
system : Linux
host : hwxentop
release : 2.6.16-xen0
version : #1 Tue May 2 03:16:06 MDT 2006
machine : i686

total_memory : 5119
free_memory : 3551
xen_major : 3

xen_extra : -unstable
xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32

Any help would be greatly appriciated! Thanks R

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. :-)
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
