This one is shipped on the SuSE 9.3 DVD. No change in behaviour though (black text consoles, X server works fine). adler:~ # uname -a Linux adler 2.6.11.4-20a-xen #1 Wed Mar 23 21:52:37 UTC 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux adler:~ I am going to see if I can compile a kernel from xen-2.0.5-src.gz using a .config file taken from one of the SuSE kernels and see how that works (or otherwise). I already tried with binaries (kernel image, modules) taken fron xen-2.0.5-install.gz but that failed to boot and I can see where it is hanging. I am still using the laptop and I need to change to a machine with a serial port available.
