[man_in_the_hill]

Hi,

I have some troubles with vm based on windows xp pro ( I migrated vm 2008 Server and I haven't any problem ).
I migrated two server based on gentoo where a xp vm working fine to proxmox ve.

Essential Hardware:

MB: Supermicro X7DVL
Proc: Intel Xeon E5420 (2.50GHz)
3ware 9650E raid controller with 3 hard disk 1T

After migration, the xp vm always shutdown after the first boot .

I haven't error log, except:

Aug 21 11:32:05     kernel         vmbr0: port 2(tap101i0d0) entering disabled state
Aug 21 11:32:05     kernel         vmbr0: port 2(tap101i0d0) entering disabled state

Thanks for any help !

looks ok so far but I would never use writeback for the virtual disk.

Hi,

I use this cache mode for some time and I had no problem so far despite a few crashes of VMs.
I did some research and tests at a time and this type of cache seemed the most interesting performance. This question has not been resolved for me ...

The vm stop between 8mn and 10 mn !
I have nothing in the log and that is the problem to solve this trouble ...
