In each case, the laptop behaves the same, black text console, X server on console 7. Booting a non xen linux kernel works fine of course. It seems that my problem isn't due to a recent software change. There is a second rack mounted machine that was apparently showing the same symptoms, but when I replaced it in the rack, the text consoles started working, albeit with corrupted fonts. That machine is running a nameserver and so is off limits for further testing. I may try I installing another machine with the same set of packages to see if I can reproduce the problem.
