Port the patch

Port the patch[1] for whatever eucalyptus version you use. I did it for 1.6.1 and works like charm. I will push the patch for 1.6.1/1.6.2 and 2.0 in couple of days. Follow the steps as it is, it will work fine. Currently I am using XP and 2003 server on eucalyptus 1.6.1

Patch for windows

Are you saying that windows instance worked with 1.6.1 ? Is it after modifying the file - gen_kvm_libvirt_xml ?

I could get it to work after changing the ramdisk to 0 & remove the line which talks about kernel ?

Can you shed some light into this please ?

Cheers

Bit more modification.

Yes, Windows is working on 1.6.1
Main thing the patch does is to make eucalyptus stack HVM aware.

There are couple of files to change to make that happen.
JUST FOLLOW the PATCH...

Thanks
