Qubes4: Launching Win7AppVM from Win7Template

[Peter Reilly]

I'm using qubes 4 with qubes-windows-tools-4.0.0-1

I have a win7 template which launches fine.

I've made a Appvm from the template and when I try to start it has the

following error:

qvm-start win7vm

ERROR: Start failed: internal error: libenlight failed to create new domain 'win7vm', see /var/log/libvert/libxl/libxl-driver.log

Can anyone help with this error?

Does this have anything to do with the network issue with Windows7, where you have to set a static IP address? 

I don't see this error when launching any other VM's.

libxl-driver.log has this:

Did you resolve this? Because I have the same problem in Qubes 4.0 when I am trying to start win7 templateVM (not standalone) I got the same error "Start failed: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'win7'".

If you have the same error it's because you havent set virt mode to HVM and
kernel to none.
Check what values you have using qvm-prefs and change them with the same
tool.

Hi, thanks for you help.

When I am choosing HVM for StandaloneVM all working correctly.

But when I am choosing HVM for TemplateVM then Windows 7 installer starting like usual and after first reboot VM is not going off. I mean window of VM disappearing but VM staying with yellow circle. And if I am killing this VM even after 1 hour from starting, then windows 7 give me error about aborted installation.


P.S. With StandaloneVM all this process with installation and rebooting Windows 7 not taking more then 5 minutes.
