XenVM crashes when installing WinXP on 11.2

I am trying to use Xen tools to run multiple operating systems on my machine. The problem is that when I try to install Windows (32) XP (using “hvm” build) it crashes ! It crashes after it starts copying some files (immediately after formatting) at 18%/20%).

I can’t see the cause of this such a crash, I know it’s a crash because I told it to restart on case. Here is my configuration file:

name="WindowsXP"
memory=256
maxmem=512
vcpus=1
on_poweroff="destroy"
on_reboot="restart"
on_crash="restart"
localtime=1
keymap="en-us"

builder="hvm"
extid=0
device_model="/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
boot="dc"
disk= 'file:/xsu/xen/images/win32xp.iso,hda:cdrom,r', 'phy:/dev/xenvm/lvwin,ioemu:hdc,w', ]
#vif= ]


stdvga=0
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
sdl=0

I am using openSUSE 11.2 's xen distribution on a AMD Turion64 X2 cpu.
/dev/xenvm/lvwin is a LVM volume.

I have a similar problem with windows 2k3… in opensuse 11.1 Xen work good…

amd athlon x2 4600 OpenSUSE 11.2

I get the same problem, I tried both XP and 2003.
The VM just stop and says it’s not started at about 20% of file copying, after 5 tries, tried switching SCSI to IDE, same thing.

OpenSUSE 11.2 freshly installed 3 days ago.
Lenovo Thinkcentre Intel Core 2.

I’m also using an LVM disk
Configuration:


name="Windows-2003-SBS"

stdvga=0
vnc=1

acpi=1

I have the same problem on my new machine:
AMD Athlon II X2 250, Gigabyte 485GT, 4GB Mem, OpenSuse 11.2

While doing Win XP Installation the hole OpenSuse 11.2 system crashs (reboot) without failure or warning.
I tried 3 times now, it always happens when the VM is up and the installation procedure is formatting the C: Disk as preparation
of the Win XP installation >:(

I’m not using LVM volumes, I use normal partitions with ext4

same problem here. windows xp installation from cd image just hangs with a black screen and cursor. vm uses 100% cpu.
opensuse 11.2-x86_64.
hangs both with an image file and a “physical” LVM device.

tried with and without pae (the latter with sufficiently low memory), and with and without acpi and apic. same situation in all cases. any hints would be appreciated.
