Hi,
I'm trying to get a windoze 7 to run as a domU on a fresh install of
gentoo with xen. I need to use the installer ISO to boot from and to
install into a partition on a physical disk.
Running 'xl -vvv create /etc/xen/ws-01.hvm' gives me the following messages:

The configuration for the VM is as follows:
# This configures an HVM rather than PV guest
builder = "hvm"
# Guest name
name = "ws-01.hvm"
# 128-bit UUID for the domain as a hexadecimal number.
# Use "uuidgen" to generate one if required.
# The default behavior is to generate a new UUID each time the guest is
started.
#uuid = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
# Enable Microsoft Hyper-V compatibile paravirtualisation /
# enlightenment interfaces. Turning this on can improve Windows guest
# performance and is therefore recommended
viridian = 1
# Initial memory allocation (MB)
memory = 4096
# Maximum memory (MB)
# If this is greater than `memory' then the slack will start ballooned
# (this assumes guest kernel support for ballooning)
#maxmem = 512
# Number of VCPUS
vcpus = 2

vif = [ 'bridge=brloc' ]
# Disk Devices

# docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sde1,ioemu:hda,w',
'file:/root/installers/de_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676919.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'
]
boot="dc"
# Guest VGA console configuration, either SDL or VNC
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
Any idea why I cannot create VMs? Is this a Gentoo problem or a problem
with xen? Do I need to install some more packages?
