Bug still present in FC6t2.
Please post the kernel/xen versions installed (or confirm this is a fresh FC6t2 install). Thanks.
This is a fresh FC6t2 install.
Bug still present in FC6. Applicable versions: kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 xen-3.0.3-0.1.rc3
I'm also getting video corruption when I boot the XEN kernel in FC6 with all patches as of 11/21/06. There is no corruption with the use of the other kernels. HW Profile: -Dell Dimension 4600 -Radeon 9800 -512Mb RAM -2.4Ghz P4 with HT Working Kernel: $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 #1 SMP Fri Nov 10 12:45:28 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I removed the Radeon 9800, and just used the onboard Intel 865G video card, and the corruption was fixed. However, there was a reduction in video performance.

This was mis-categoized as a userspace bug, changing to kernel-xen instead. Also switching to F7 on basis of comment #7.
Can this bug be reproduced in F9? If not, let's close it.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
