hi all,

i have ubuntu running as dom0,

xen 3.0.4_1 installed with patched and custom kernel for e1000 and
arcmsr. Booting works without any problems and 2 ubuntu clones
running as vm 1/2 successfully.

root@cmta-dev1:/var/log/xen# uname -a
Linux cmta-dev1 2.6.16.33-xen #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 15:50:40 CET 2007 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

now i try to install sles9 from cd with he following configuration:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
name = "dom3sles9"
memory = "512"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:04' ]
#vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:04' ]
disk = [ 'file:/xen/guests_run/freebsd.img,hda,w','phy:/dev/cdrom,hdb:cdrom,
r']
#cdrom = "/dev/cdrom"
#serial='pty'
boot = "d"
device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
vncpasswd="foobar"

if i start the domain using xm create /etc/xen/dom3sles9 
(which is the above config) i can connect via vnc and see a blue background
with an ugly but happy chamaeleon but i cannot do anything nor i have a chance
to select to use textmode.. its frozen.
same happends if i use xm console VMID (it simply hangs)

qemu log shows:
domid: 83
qemu: the number of cpus is 1
qemu_map_cache_init nr_buckets = 200
shared page at pfn:1ffff
buffered io page at pfn:1fffd
char device redirected to /dev/pts/8 # if i have serial='pty'
I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0

xm list show:
Domain-0                                   0  6000     4     r-----   1190.4
dom1ubuntu                                19   512     3     -b----  22149.6
dom2ubuntu                                20   512     1     -b----    647.9
dom3sles9                                                                       
                                                        83       512            
 1               r-----           72.8

sos, my frustration level using xen is reached after unsuccessfully trying 
netbsd, freebsd and all success is a dom1/dom2 ubuntu clone of my running 
system. the documentation is more or less 0 :(

thanks,
marc
