Non-SP1 installs of Windows 7 should be upgraded to SP1 first.
Out of the box, there's a chance that the SP1 installation will never finish. The following steps should address that:
Again, out of the box, there are Windows Update issues in WIndows 7 SP1. These are not OpenXT-specific, but they seem to have a bigger impact in Xen guests than on bare-metal.
Microsoft released many Windows Update fixes over the years, and after some testing, the following ones seem to do the trick (install them in this order, using the standalone installers, not Windows Update):
More up to date list 10/13/2016:
Once Windows Update is fixed, you should now be able to select "Windows Updates" in the Control Panel, check for updates and install the appropriate ones.
At this point, you can also configure Windows Update to automatically download / install updates.
To use a Windows 10 guest without installing the tools (NOT recommended), hibernate should be disabled.
In a administrator Command Prompt (Admin), type the commande line :
powercfg.exe /hibernate off
Linux guests may experience issues to connect to the wired network.
A workaround to this issue is to disconnect eth1
It could happens that the guest hibernates or goes to sleep during installation.
To avoid that, ACPI should be turned off.
At the end of the installation, the guest is ready to be used
On the black screen, open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + F2)
# cd /etc/modprobe.d
# nano bochsdrm-blacklist.conf (or fbdev-blacklist.conf if exists)
add the line
blacklist bochs_drm
save the file blacklist.config
# update-initramfs -u
# reboot
The guest is ready to be used. The recommended next step is to install the OpenXT tools.
At the end of the installation, the guest is ready to be used
