My grub config:

title XEN
    kernel (hd0,0)/xen.gz dom0_mem=204800
module (hd0,0)/vmlinuz-xen root=/dev/system/dom0_root_hdc selinux=0 splash

Try adding console=tty0 to the line above


=silent showopts
    module (hd0,0)/initrd-xen



Definitely worth a try!

The new grub boot lines:

title XEN 9.3 /dev/system/root_9.3
    kernel (hd0,1)/i386/xen-2.0-testing.gz dom0_mem=512000
module (hd0,1)/i386/vmlinuz-2.6.11.4-21.7-xen root=/dev/system/root_9.3 selinux=0 splash=silent showopts console=tty0
    module (hd0,1)/i386/initrd-2.6.11.4-21.7-xen

Outcome:
No change in behaviour. Screen goes black after maybe 1/5 second, no
more than that, after selecting grub boot menu item. I am testing
with the Mitac laptop here, Xen and xenlinnux are RPM's from Kurt
Garloff's web page.

There is something printed before it all goes black it's just to
quick for the eye. Maybe I could capture the screen contents with
a darkened room and a camera :)
