From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-GB; rv:1.8.1b2) Gecko/20060821 Firefox/2.0b2 Description of problem: kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2689.fc6 boots but X fails. I get graphical boot ok, I get "Starting firstboot..". Then it flips to what should be gnome starting up but I only see the cursor for probably half a second then the screen goes blank and I can't break out of X and need to cycle the box. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to kernel-xen 2. Wait for graphical boot to compete. 3. The cursor is displayed for a very short time, less thana second, then nothing. Actual Results: Screen goes blank, monitor reports "no signal". I then need to power cycle the box. Expected Results: Gnome start up followed by normal use. Additional info: From fedora-devel list : "I had the same problem. I assumed it was my CPU (Centrino) or my graphics card (R300)."
Just to check, does the non-xen kernel work OK?
Sorry Stephen I forgot to add that. Yes the non-xen kernel works as expected and is stable. I fear this may duplicate a bug I have already opened with similar symptoms : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207432 Could this also be related I wonder? : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207254
I've no idea if #207432 is related. There is a change_page_attr() bug being worked on, but there's no information in this report to give us any idea if it's the same problem. Is there any extra information you can provide? /var/log/xorg* logs, kernel messages from /var/log/messages etc. after X dies? As long as it's only X, not the whole kernel, dying, then the log messages should all persist until reboot. (You may want to reboot into runlevel 3 to avoid the new boot overwriting the X logs.) Thanks!

Right, I'll close it as a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 207432 ***
