Hi all,
I downloaded the evaluation ISO from MS today and I've been trying to
get it to install in a HVM with no success.
Config:
name = "win2012.vm"
memory = 2048
vcpus = 1
cpus = "1-7"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=20:34:01:36:01:00,
vifname=vif.win2012, bridge=br0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg_hosting/win2012.vm,ioemu:hda,w',
'file:/root/win2012-server.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot = "dc"
kernel = "hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
viridian = '1'
usbdevice = "tablet"
vnc = 1
vnclisten = "127.0.0.1"
vncdisplay = 1 # port 5901
vncpasswd = ''
localtime = 1
## Enable PVHVM
xen_platform_pci= 1
Whenever I start the DomU, I get the quick windows flag splash, then a
text error message:
Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x00000000178BFBFF
0x0000000020000800
0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000
Has anyone come across this before?

If that's a regular bug check code, then 0x5D is:
"
Bug Check 0x5D: UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR
The UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR bug check has a value of 0x0000005D. This indicates that the computer is attempting to run Windows on an unsupported processor.
Cause
Windows requires a higher-grade processor than the one you are using.
"
What sort of CPU are you running on? I would think that anything that runs Xen should also run 2012 so it's a bit of a mystery.

A bit of googling for bug check 0x5D 2012 brought up these articles:
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=316480
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX135255
the latter of which says you should turn on No-Execute Memory Protection in your BIOS... maybe that will help?

That turned out to be it. Rebooted it and enabled NX in the BIOS via the
serial console - and everything worked as it should.
Thanks!
