[xenpreview-dev] SUSE 10.2, Xen 3, Window xp

[Michael Brian Bentley]

Hi folks,

I set up SUSE on a Windows machine. It crunched the Windows xp 
partition for me, and installed SUSE very nicely around it. I also 
asked it to install Xen, which it did.

The machine is a Lenovo T60p, which supports Full Virtualization. I 
turned that option on.

So how do I run xp under Xen now? I have surfed the web and found a 
myriad of answers that seemingly require me to reinstall Windows. I'd 
rather just use Windows from the partition it occupies, /dev/sda1. I 
have, so far, been unable to configure an .hvm file that does the 
right thing and makes it all happen.

The documentation lurking around the Novell site seems to imply that 
xp doesn't work under Xen at all, yet I'm seeing indications of 
success from several sources.

The Xen Configuration Manager tool under Yast does not appear to 
provide any insight into the matter, nor have I found the relevant 
information on Novell web sites.

This would seem to be a natural next step after SUSE installing 
itself nicely around a previous Windows install!

Thanks,
