Here we go...

Grub config used to boot:

title XEN pv_ops dom0 with serial console
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/xen-3.4-unstable.gz dom0_mem=256M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com1=9600,8n1 console=com1 module /boot/bzImage-2.6.29-rc6-tip ro root=LABEL=ROOT console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen 4
module /boot/init.rd-2.6.29-rc6-tip

Did a boot test on 3.4-unstable tip and 3.3.1 with dom0-loader-bzImage patch. Logs attached.

Xen and dom0 kernel are freshly pulled and build from a clean tree. Kernel config attached. Xen was build with this command after hg clone: make KERNELS='' dist

After xen hands over the console to dom0 the screen stays blank...

I'll do another tests and boot dom0 with console=ttyS0,9600n8 maybe we get outputs from the kernel itself then.

Hello Boris,
hello Jeremy,

i've the same problems here (but i also didn't got Dom0 up and running beyond that point before on my Boxes here...). I'll got logs over serial console yesterday (Boris: i hope your box actually have a serial port as i had to get me a cheap Asus Barebone for that ;o) and watched them with the screen utility and there are quite a few repeating backtraces before the whole box stops responding. I'll do another run (after pulling and building Jeremys remaining changes in) and catch the backtraces into log files over the the next few hours to post them here.

The most recent 2.6.29-rc6 with pvops Dom0 support been compiled
on my old box (ASUS P5K Premium) behaves similar to situation described bellow for ASUS P5Q-E :-

Screen output interrupts immediately after Xen prints scrubbing for free
ram  .  .  .  .   .   .
Just black screen for several second followed by Xen host reboot ( system
hangs on box built up on ASUS P5Q-E)
At mean time i have no any idea how to get boot logs.

    Do you have any diagnostics?  Even a screenshot?
