Try removing all the extra consoles. Also maybe specify a ramdisk for root. I 
usually have something like this for my pxe cmdline and it installs 6.2.0 
without issues.

  append XENSERVER_6.2.0_64/xen.gz --- XENSERVER_6.2.0_64/vmlinuz 
root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=32758 atexit=shell answerfile=http://answerfile 
install --- XENSERVER_6.2.0_64/install.img

Subject: [Xen-users] PXE booting XenServer 6.2

Hello all,

I'm trying to PXE boot (via kickstarts) the newly opensourced xenserver 6.2 
image.  Previous versions of citrix xenserver and xcp 1.6 booted successfully 
with the following boot options:

XCP 1.6:
append /images/xcp16/xen.gz dom0_mem=752M com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga --- 
/images/xcp16/vmlinuz xencons=hvc console=hvc0 console=tty0 
answerfile=http://@@cblr_master@@/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/xcp16 install --- 
/images/xcp16/install.img

Citrix XenServer 6.0.2:
append /images/xen602/xen.gz dom0_mem=752M com1=115200,8n1 console=com1,vga --- 
/images/xen602/vmlinuz xencons=hvc console=hvc0 console=tty0 
answerfile=http://@@cblr_master@@/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/xen602 install --- 
/images/xen602/install.img

The same options do not work for Xenserver 6.2 however. There is no change in 
the answerfiles from what I could read. The PXE screen hangs at:

....
Console [tty] enabled
Console [hvc0] enabled

What could be going wrong? 


Thanks,

--
Prasanna.,
