Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost. This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks. change QA contact Came across this in RHEL5 today... Fix for this is detailed in: https://virt.108.redhat.com/articles/2007/01/15/xen-guest-installation.pdf (page 5) "12. Choose to format the C:\ partition in FAT file system format. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does not come with NTFS kernel modules. Mounting or writing files to the Xen guest image may not be as straight-forward if you were to format the partition in NTFS file system format. 13. After the first reboot, fix the winxp guest image: Xen Guest Installation losetup /dev/loop0 /xen/winxp.img kpartx -av /dev/loop0 mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt cp -prv $WINDOWS/i386 /mnt/1 umount /mnt 14. Restart the Xen guest manually: xm create -c winxp 15. Select winxp Xen guest from 'Virtual Machine Manager' and click Open. 16. The 'Virtual Machine Console' window will pop up. Proceed as normal with the installation. 17. Whenever a 'Files Needed' dialog box appears, change the path GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM0\I386 to C:\I386. Depending on your installation, you may or may not see this problem. You may be prompted for missing files numerous times. Changing the path to C:\I386 will fix this problem. Replace the: GLOBALROOT\DEVICE\CDROM\I386 with: C:\I386" The Windows XP CD is the new updated CD with Service Pack 2 included.
