Xen kernel not booting after showing msg "Xen is relinquishing VGA console"

Xen kernel not booting after showing msg "Xen is relinquishing VGA console"

[Abhinav Srivastava]

Hi there,

I am trying to install Xen 3.2 on my desktop. After the installation when I boot my Xen kernel, it hangs after showing the message "Xen is relinquishing VGA console".

My host machine is running 32 bit Fedora Kernel 2.6.22.14-72.fc6 and Xen 3.2 comes with dom0 kernel 2.6.18.8.

My grub.conf looks like this (it is relative to /boot/:

title Fedora (Xen-3.2)
   root (hd0,2)
   kernel /xen-3.2.gz
   module /vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
   module /initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img


Then i tried Xen 3.1 and it also came with dom0 kernel 2.6.18.8 but I found the same problem during the boot.

The output of lspci on my machine shows the following info related to card and display:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)


Could you please let me know what could be the problem?

I look forward hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Abhinav

You could try appending console=tty0 to the 'module /vmlinuz...' menu line.

Hi Keir,

Thanks for the prompt reply. It tried console=tty0 but it did not work. I am getting the same problem. 

Any other suggestions or pointers?

Thanks,
Abhinav
