These two appear to be the same problem or similar problems; in any  
case, assuming they are the same, I'm hitting it.  I'm trying to  
install Solaris 10; I see a grub boot screen, then the line of dots  
mentioned in the second e-mail appears briefly, then the screen goes  
black with just a text cursor in the upper left corner of the  
screen.  "xm top" indicates 100% CPU usage.  Has anyone hit this  
problem, and found a workaround for it?
People have suggested installing in qemu and then booting that  
install in Xen.  Has anyone hit this problem, installed with qemu,  
and then successfully booted the installed OS in Xen?
I've encountered similar problems on other OS'es, also trying to  
install them as HVM (Darwin, NetBSD, SUSE, I think a few more), where  
the install CD freezes very early in the boot process.  I'm currently  
running several Windows VM's, though, so I know my setup can do HVM.   
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Adam
