Can I get access to this machine? I can't reproduce this on hp-rx8640-02.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com I was able to install and boot an HVM guest without any problems. Did you remember to install the firmware? Created attachment 510798 [details]
ia64 HVM DomU (20110629.0) boot up
Can't reproduce with our HP bl860c either, tried with 20110622.0, 20110629.0 and 20110630.0 trees to boot with boot.iso, all boot up fine.

Created attachment 510654 [details] screenshot Description of problem: When I try to create HVM domU on latest RC tree it fails to start. More precisely it loads and stops shortly after that before loading anaconda installer. See screenshot for details. On the same host I can provision PV domU's with no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-xen-2.6.18-272.el5 xen-3.0.3-132.el5 How reproducible: always on this host Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install planck.rhts.eng.rdu.redhat.com with latest RHEL 5.7 RC tree. Install kernel-xen, xen, virt-manager and reboot. 2. Using virt-manager create new guest selecting full virt. Select to boot from boot.iso from the same compose. 3. When ia64 efi shell loads type: fs0: <enter> then elilo <enter> then linux. This will start the linux installer. Actual results: Installation stops at a point where it doesn't continue any more. See screenshot. Expected results: Anaconda loads and installation is possible. Additional info: I've used the last few snapshots of RHEL5.7 as dom0 and didn't have any issues (although I didn't use the same host).
