xen problem with hvm (Invalid mode)
I'm still trying to run winxp on xen. This time, installed a fresh
debian-amd64 stable version [1]. When I run xm create winxp.cfg [2], I
got the message "Error: Invalid mode". I've attached xend.log [3]
output, xm dmesg [4] and xm info [5].
Googling I've found some posts saying problems with asus_acpi module
and during boot process dmesg complains about loading an acpi module.
How should I disable acpi module and give a try without it?
regards,
