Citrix XenServer and reactOS
Posted: Thu Nov 28, 2019 9:23 am
hey all
not sure if it is a common problem , or just related to the citrix XenServer
i tried reactOS today and i want to put it on my hypervisor
it works perfectly in VMware, but as soon i want to install it on XenServer then it fails
lets reproduce the steps ( cant post screenshots at this moment , i will do that later )
i got the reactOS iso into my Iso libary (same as other iso's )
i create a new VM and i need to select a template
i got the choise out of differend linux flavors and some windows flavors , starting from windows 7 ( 32 bit )
There suggestion is to use the " Others" template if the version you want is not avaible in the template list
for windows 2003 and windows xp do the "others" template work ( also the windows 2008 template works )
for reactos it does not work ...
so after selecting a template and pressing the create vm button ( and mounting the iso ofcourse )then the reactOS installation starts
so far so good , it find the iso and it boots from the iso
now it start , it shows the blue screen with text on it and then a screen that says .... detecting hardware (or something like that , the pre post before install, maybe second or third install screen ? )
and it just stays stuck on there , never got past that screen
is there a way to get reactos running on Xenserver 8.0 or XNG-CP 8.0 ( same as xenserver , only open source )
Thank you
