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:
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.
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.
