[Xen-users] Re: VESA BIOS in HVM emulation? (64 bit)

[LC Bruzenak <lenny@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apologize in advance if I am ruining the thread; just joined mailing
list. I've been reading the archives and I'm looking for VESA help; this
thread seemed relevant. I am experiencing similar issues and was
wondering if there was a resolution for this issue.

My issue is that under FC6 kernel, X starts fine.
I ensured there were no "WW" or "EE" messages in my X startup without
Xen. With Xen, X cannot start on machine boot.
