[xenpreview-dev] xen boot xp from pre-existing xp partition

[Michael Brian Bentley]

I installed Xen from Yast after installing SUSE 10.2 on a machine 
with xp installed in /dev/sda1.

Is there something fundamentally wrong with trying to start Windows 
xp in its /dev/sda1 partition under Xen, on a Core 2 Duo machine with 
Full Virtualization turned on?

All the examples I see on the net involve creating a .img file, 
either from copying it from an original install or from installing 
into the .img file. But pointing to xp at /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda after 
doing a regular SUSE 10.2 install that involves shrinking the 
pre-existing xp partition, and doing an xm create, does not work (for 
me). Shouldn't this thing just work if I get the .hvm configuration 
file set up right?
