Description Need Real Name 2006-09-06 00:40:15 UTC

Description of problem:

Booting kernel 2.6.17-1.2519.4.21.el5xen in initlevel 5 produces a bluescreen
with very slow mouse and no other features. Booting to init level 3 and manually
starting the X session (via service start xfs and startx works but causes
nautilus to crash).

This has been recreated on a VMWare VM, real hardware and on both FC5 (latest
updates), FC6T2 (latest updates) and RHEL 5 (alpha and beta versions).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel 2.6.17-1.2519.4.21.el5xen
xen (from RHEL 5 Beta 1 - 3.0)

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into Xen enabled kernel (VMware Hardware or Real hardware)
2. When X is started, blue screen shows up and slow mouse - no further progress
  
Actual results:

X Blue screen with slow mouse.

Expected results:

GDM Session Login and responsive mouse.

Additional info:

Does not occur when booting to initlevel 3 and manualy starting X.

What happens if you boot to initlevel 3 and then switch to initlevel 5?

Is the hardware PAE enabled?

John, can you please get the IBM TAM involved for reproduction? It is hard to
decide what causes this without reproducing...

This seems to only happen if the boot options include rhgb.
