and videoram is equal to 16 with stdvga=0, as you told me.

Yes, that's it, but unfortunately the domU doesn't start in this way:
blank screen
after the grub kernel selection. So I came back to use the hvm domU
I've previously
created.

Yes. But as said above, now consider that this pv domain has been cancelled.
Now I only have one opensuse domU and it is hvm. The only one that can boot.

Well, as far as I understand, it is a kernel configuration issue. Isn't it?
So, compiling the XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND module within the domU kernel should solve
the problem?

Thanks a lot!
