Solved XenServer issue
-
Did you remove the USB stick? If so, have you tried booting with it installed?
-
Removed the USB stick after installation and restarted from Xen, all i could see is the cursor. Last resort, i can do a clean install but really want to see why this is happening and how can i fix it
-
I even did a clean install on that machine, after reboot same issue!
-
Have you checked your bios settings for anything unusual? Perhaps this thread will help.
-
Thanks for the link, checked my bios, nothing seems to be changed, boot os set to legacy, tried optimised defaults but still the same, checking on it
-
So found out that the SATA mode selection was set to AHCI, i changed it to IDE and Xen started working fine, but then Windows server gave me BSOD. Seems like i could only get either Xen/Windows working at one time, i mean to go to windows, i need to go back in bios, set back to AHCI and can boot from windows. This was not the case before, don't know what changed!
-
Anyways Xen is up and i am installing Xen Orchestra as well. Still need to figure out how this can be fixed. Thanks @Danp for the pointers.
-
Might be related to the hardware? i can't say i had the same issue before, but something similar on linux, try to update the motherboard firmware, or try to install another version of the XENSERVER, it would be good to have the ACHI mode active in BIOS again... but thanks for the tutorial anyway.

If you've got Xen working, why still have a second boot option instead of running it in a VM?
I mean, I can understand wanting to experiment, but that's just odd.

As mentioned earlier, this is fine with me, started working on the Xen, but just wondering how this worked earlier and why is it not working now. @Mohammed-Fota i will try the bios update as well.
