Here is the config file that I used to initially install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 on 64-bit SLES 11 RC1. However, you should be able to use vm-install to launch the install and select Windows Vista as the OS type. Jason name="windows7-32bit" uuid="b0c975de-ee50-5837-9f21-3da7fdb01565" memory=1024 maxmem=1024 vcpus=2 on_poweroff="destroy" on_reboot="destroy" on_crash="destroy" localtime=1 keymap="en-us" builder="hvm" extid=0 device_model="/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm" kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" boot="d" disk=[ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/windows7-32bit/disk0,hda,w', 'file:/mnt/isos/windows/7-beta1/Windows-7-beta1-32bit.iso,hdc:cdrom,r', ] vif=[ 'mac=00:16:3e:23:e1:00,bridge=br0,model=rtl8139', ] stdvga=0 vnc=1 vncunused=1 apic=1 acpi=1 pae=1 usb=1 usbdevice='tablet' serial="pty"

I'm using a .cfg patched together from online for older Xen & Win versions on other OS. (Good bet that something's wrong with it)

name = 'win7' kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader' builder = 'hvm' disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/win7/win7.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ] boot = 'dc' vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=br1' ] vfb = [ 'type=vnc, vncdisplay=1, vnclisten=127.0.0.1' ] extra = 'textmode=1 xencons=xvc0' memory = 512 shadow_memory = 8 vcpus = 1 device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm' netif = 'yes' acpi = 1 apic = 1 stdvga = 0 serial = 'pty' on_shutdown = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'destroy' on_crash = 'destroy'

On exec it starts but gets no further than

xm create -c win7.cfg Using config file "win7.cfg". Started domain win7

VNC from my desktop can't connect at all to the Win VNC server.

Xen log tails don't tell me very much

Anyone have any suggestions as to what's wrong with my cfg above, or better yet a working cfg?
