So it's not login console not displayed, only something that happens
occasionally?
Right, I’ve seen it happen 3 times in the past month or so. It will start to boot and I can see the console up to the the line ( Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]) and then the console stops and it never gets to the login prompt and the network isn’t up yet so I can’t get into it.

I never had this problem, but here's several things you might want to try:
- udate your OS. RHEL 5.5. is out already. At least update your kernel-xen rpm.
- update your Xen version. Xen 3.4.2 (the easy way is from Gitco) has
been quite stable for me. If you want to try latest version, you could
also test Xen 4.0
I actually just upgraded a box to rhel5.4 and xen3.4.2 so I’ll try it there to see if I see it but since it doesn’t happen very often probably won’t know for sure for a while.
Any pointers on good reads on debugging the events or ring buffers? Like how to map xenstore info to something useful to look at:
tx-ring-ref = "768"
rx-ring-ref = "769"
event-channel = "14"
Thanks again
Tom
