Or actually..
I can see the pv_ops dom0 kernel detect and print the (Xen) memory layout for
dom0, then some misc information and then the console is cleared and nothing
happens anymore.. I'm not sure if it gets to initrd yet at that point.. at
least I don't see any disk activity (based on the hdd LED).
My grub configuration atm:
title dom0-test (2.6.28-rc8-tip)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen-3.3.gz dom0_mem=1024M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all
module /vmlinuz-2.6.28-rc8-tip.gz ro root=/dev/vg00/lv01
earlyprintk=vga pci=nomsi
module /initrd-2.6.28-rc8-tip.img
What is "earlyprintk=xen" supposed to do?
