Description of problem: Tried adding xen to a working and updated FC5 system, running on a VIA EPIA PD10000 motherboard with 1GB of RAM. Boot looked normal up to the point where it should switch to a graphical login screen at which point monitor powered off.... Keyboard Capslock/Numlock still worked. Followed notes to boot to runlevel 3, diferent symptoms console goes black with a row of white blocks at the top of the screen. Tapping keyboard yeals additional block at the bottom of the screen, some white some coloured. Tried a wipe and reinstall using the notes in the FC5 wiki and an FC5 DVD cut from the ISO on the website. Same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from DVD 2. select linux xen0 3. Actual results: A non usable system :-( Expected results: A usable system :-) Additional info: The wiki gave instruction on how to capture console messages via serial cable As printed this only got the xen start messages, retrying for a nongraphical runlevel 3 boot also loged the xen0 kernel start messages see attachment
Created attachment 132602 [details] data to ttyS0 captured with ttywatch
Is this still reproducible on the latest stable release+updates? Thanks.
