Issue:
The error "Setup is starting Windows" is a symptom of the Windows installer not recognizing the underlying HVM (hardware virtual machine), in particular the ACPI controller. However, these options don't work as expected if the guest OS is the 64bit version of Window XP or Windows Server 2003.
Currently, the version of XEN shipping with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 does not support 64bit installations of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
With 32 bit guests, either of the below will fix this issue:
The first option is during installation, when Windows says to press F6 to install additional drivers, press F5 instead of F6. This will then prompt the user to select the machine and ACPI controller type. Then from the next dialog box select "Standard PC" and continue the installation as usual.
The second method includes the known work around for Windows not seeing cdrom after first reboot as well as getting past the earlier error message.
Install Windows through virt-manager. When it starts installation of Windows, close the vnc console and run xm shutdown guest from a root console. In these examples, guest refers to the name of the guest in question.
Edit /etc/xen/guest and add the cdrom to the disk section. Change the following line:
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/guest,hda,w']
to
disk = ['file:/var/lib/xen/images/guest,hdx,w','phy:/dev/hdx,hdx:cdrom,r']
Replace /dev/hdx with the exact device of the system's cdrom or dvd drive. It can also be specified by file:/path/to/XP.iso for iso images.
Add boot = "d" under the disk section. Change acpi = 1 to acpi = 0. Lastly, run xm create guest.
After this, Windows XP should boot normally and not hang at "setup is starting Windows".
Remove the boot = "d" line from the configuration file before starting the machine on the first reboot.
