Re: [Xen-users] Kernel panic on Xen 4.0.1 + Debian Squeeze

[Ilya Kozlov <unicast.ru@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hm, the problem is in grub2, with grub1 system boots successfully.

My currently grub2 menu entry is:

menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 and XEN 4.0-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen {

insmod ext2

set root=(hd0,1)

multiboot (hd0,1)/boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz dummy=dummy iommu=off

module (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda1 ro

module (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

grub1 menu entry is:

title Xen 4.0-amd64 / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

root (hd0,0)

kernel /boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz iommu=off

module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro console=tty0

module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

What's wrong in my configuration?

Black screen came up after the xen begins loading, and after "loading dom0" server goes reboot. This issue was solved by adding "iommu=off", but there was another described in first letter :-(

Does this black screen come up right after the kernel begins loading or just before the X windows system starts, like gdm3 in case of Debian systems running the Gnome DE.

On my system the black screen issue was resolved by adding "nomodeset" instead of "iommu=off" (but I do not recall the system rebooting).

Anyways, I hope that help!
