Description of problem: Fedora 9 doesn't boot xen kernel, using luks encrypted root volume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Install kernel-xen, modify grub to boot xen kernel. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum -y install kernel-xen 2. Edit /etc/grub.conf for xen kernel to attempt to use same "ro root=UUID=..." appended line in grub, as non-xen kernel; and attempt to boot; expecting luks password prompt during boot process. Actual results: While trying on IBM Thinkpad T60 (RedHat Internal Employee sanctioned Laptop): it's as if someone hits the reset button on the machine at the point the user expects a luks password prompt. (the machine does a hard powercycle; instead of booting, at the "VGA Console" type message point). I've included a sysreport for engineering's convenience (from non-xen kernel). Expected results: LUKS Password prompt during pivot root process, as in non-xen kernel. Additional info: See attached sysreport.

Unfortunately, kernel-xen in F-9 does not support Dom0, so this is expected. If you require a Xen Dom0, you'll need to use F-8 until F-10. See here for more details: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 437930 ***
