Description of problem: If I attempt to start a Fedora 10 --nographics install on a Solaris Xen 3.3.1 dom0: virt-install -n domu-223 -r 1024 --paravirt --os-type=linux --os-variant=fedora8 --disk path=/alias/dskpool/dom/johnlev/fedora10-pv64/root,driver=phy,subdriver=iscsi -l http://mirror.stanford.edu/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os/ -m `~johnlev/bin/maca domu-223` --nographics Then it hangs shortly into boot, taking up 100% CPU: Console: colour dummy device 80x25 console [tty0] enabled console [hvc0] enabled Checking aperture... <hang> Also, if I use --vnc, then the installer is unable to start X and I have to do a text install (from the VNC framebuffer). The qemu log shows: FB: Waiting for FB backend creation Doing backend watch on /local/domain/0/backend/vfb/8/0 Console: got watch Console: got ring-ref 7753950 port 2 limit 1048576 Console: connected to guest frontend FB: Waiting for KBD frontend initialization Doing frontend watch on /local/domain/8/device/vkbd/0 FB: Carry on waiting FB: Waiting for FB frontend initialization Doing frontend watch on /local/domain/8/device/vfb/0 Framebuffer 800x600x32 offset 0 stride 3200 FB: Waiting for KBD frontend connection Doing frontend watch on /local/domain/8/device/vkbd/0 Xen Framebuffer registered CentOS 5.3 has neither problem on the same system.
A test of the Fedora 11 preview media indicates both problems are fixed there.
Comment#1 suggests the bug has been fixed already, so I'm closing the bz. If you disagree with that, please reopen.
