[xenpreview-dev] W2K3 NTFS failure

[Manzer, Kirk]

Installing with Windows 2003 R2 does work correctly, installing with
Windows 2003 does not.  Is Novell going to address this, or specify
exactly what is supported?

I'm currently testing on a SLES 10 SP1 base, with xen changeset 13100
(3.0.4 proper).  With this, Windows 2003 R2 formats NTFS just fine.

I realize that's a lot of variables different compared to your setup.
I'd ask our QA guys if they've seen this problem, but they all started
the holidays a day early.

Is there anything interesting in the /var/log/xen/qemu-dm*.log file, or
output from "xm dmesg", right after the crash occurs?  And is it a crash
of the install program, or of the entire VM?

Thanks,
Charles
