Hello All:
Todd:
Thanks
for the info. I used the --nographics switch and I
still got the message. I tried to log back into the domU
console with xm console 5 which is the ID from xm list but I get the message
xenconsole:
Could not read tty from store: No such file or
directory
I
looked at the qemu log in /var/log/xen
And
this is what I see
domid: 5
qemu:
the number of cpus is 1
***

***
image /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/5/5632 format raw driver 0x80e7940 Watching

Could
not initialize SDL - exiting
Looking
on the list and on Google this seems to be a mysterious error.
Thanks
in advance
JAson

After this point I am lost. The domU will not start.

virt-install
has a --nographics options that will drop you into a
text based console. If you get disconnected from that console, you can do xm console <guest name or id> (use xm list to show the list of domains)

I
have heard it mentioned, have you searched on
xen.markmail.org?
Also
you may want to ask on irc ##xen
on freenode or #xen on OFTC
