FC3 Test1 worked okay for me, but I've never tried FC3 final
release. I presume we'd have had more complaints (e.g., for Red Hat
themselves) if it failed so badly for everyone. I shall have to try it
out myself next week...

Init may be running, but you won't see any output as it hasn't managed
to open an initial console. 

My guess would be that your filesystem doesn't have a /dev/console
entry.

I've seen this happen with fle systems that expect devfs (e.g. Gentoo),
but I doubt that's the problem with FC3. Does FC3 use udev or something
fancy like that?

Either way, check to see whether you have a populated /dev/ directory
and copy one across if not. 

Best,
Ian

Yes, I do have the /dev/console entry and  a populated /dev/ directory.

Yes. FC3 uses udev at the booting up. How can I disable it and use
other possible stuff?

Hi,

I just installed the xen2.0 on my FC2  system, it works well. So I
guess it is the FC3 problem. And also I guess xen2.0 does not support
the udev well.

It is really exciting that finally I can boot up my own xen2.0. :)  

Thanks guys for your valuable sugguestion. I do appreciate that.

Yi
