Good day,

I have a low-ish power system running a VIA Samuel 2, which I'd like to have running Xen.

I've tried the Debian packages, and compiling 3.0.2 from source, both with the same result: when grub hands off to xen.gz, the whole system is rebooted without printing anything. It just flickers the screen a bit, although that might be the reboot itself.

I don't think I've done anything particularly strange. I installed it all with the make rules. My system is a somewhat-current Debian testing dist. My CPU:

>>
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : CentaurHauls
cpu family      : 6
model           : 7
model name      : VIA Samuel 2
stepping        : 3
cpu MHz         : 533.453
<<

With 192MB of RAM.

My grub entry:

>>
title           Xen
root            (hd0,1)
kernel          /xen.gz noreboot
module /vmlinuz-2.6-xen0 root=/dev/hda1 ro
module /initrd-2.6-xen0
savedefault
boot
<<

I'm happy to provide any other information. Any light that can be shed, be it just a debugging step or something, would be very appreciated.

Thanks, Peter
