Hi Alex,

The whole environments I used are: ------------------------- MT: disabled Xen0: UP Comment " *** serial='pty' *** " in the config file (very important!) GFW: Flash.fd.2006.12.01 VTI Network: close (this may not be necessary, but I guess it may make installation faster) ------------------------- Maybe you can do a compare with your settings.

Thanks, Zhangjingke

Hi Alex, Using Flash.fd.2006.12.01 and Cset#12796 (with the accel_ide_pio patch from FJ), I have done the VTI_Win2k3server installation within an hour. ( Please make sure that serial='pty' has been commented in your VTI config file.) I did not meet the problem you said.

Thanks, Zhangjingke

input "I" -> "boot0000" -> "ENTER" -> "Q"; exit EFI shell; continue.

5. Windows will the perform installation. It takes >5 hours to complete installation. VTI domain still met slow CD-ROM issue, which will cause VTI domain installation slowly. In recent Changeset VTI performance depredates a lot, the installation might be slower.

I've tried this many times, and I always seem to get stuck here. I do step #4 above, exit from EFI shell, and get a quick text flash that looks like it's selecting and booting Windows 2003, then my VNC session goes blank. It runs for a little over an hour consuming 100% of a vcpu, then according to the xend.log the domain reboots. I've using the 12.01 GFW with xen-ia64-unstable.hg tip (12796). It repeats the same thing again if I re-attempt from step 4. Thanks,
