Description andrew78 2006-07-11 12:13:15 UTC
Description of problem:

I'm running Fedora Core 6 - Update 1 and trying to install a Windows XP Pro VT
guest.  The install of the Windows XP guest starts normally but after the
drivers load, I get the message "Setup is Starting Windows".  I get nothing
after this no matter how long I wait.  A xm-list shows the VT guest is gainining
cpu time rapidly so if must be in a infinite loop.  I have installed several FC6
VT guest and that works great.  The Windows XP VT guest is the only problems I'm
having.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xen is xen-3.0.2.10
kernel is kernel-xen-2.6.16-1.2289_FC6

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attemp to install a Windows Xp VT guest from either CD or a disk image file.
2. Use VNC as the console for the Window XP guest install
3.
  
Actual results:
Successful install of Windows XP Pro VT guest

Expected results:
Install of Windwosn XP PRO guest loops after "setup is starting Windows" message

Additional info:
My platform is a Dell 380N platorm with dual-core 3.0 MHz processors and VT support.
