Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] xen 3.1 hangs after scrubbing memory

[Jan Werner <jan.werner@xxxxxxxx>]

yeah i'm answering my own post

problem is fixed now, the xen hypervisor or kernel form dom0 seemed to 
have/had some problems getting the display output to the vga port
i just bought a serial nullmodem cable and atached it to the serial port 
of that tiger4 system to a windows machine with hyperterminal running.
there was a kernel panic about not finding the root fs (megraid scsi 
drivers wasn't compiled into the kernel), this caused the reboots of the 
machine
system infos:
   intel tiger 4 system,
   gentoo-linux

###### elilo.conf  ######
boot=/dev/sda1
install=/usr/lib/elilo/elilo.efi
delay=20
default=xen

image=/boot/kernel-2.6.21-r4
       label=gentoo
       root=/dev/sda4
       read-only
       append="console=ttyS1,38400n8"

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
       label=xen
       vmm=/boot/xen.gz
       read-only
       append="dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_mem=512M sync_console console=com1 
com1=38400,8n1 -- root=/dev/sda4"
###### end #####
