Pasi, my grub.conf is attached.

Ok, fix it to be like this:

module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.10
root=/dev/mapper/vg--grp--01--23--02--2-LogVol00 dummy=dummy ro
earlyprintk=xen console=hvc0 console=ttyS0 console=ttyUSB0,115200n8
text

aka remove "quiet" and add "earlyprintk=xen console=hvc0"

Pasi, this gave some more output.  Sorry the video is fuzzy but this
happens by youtube postprocessing.  Here is new link:

If you have somewhere I can ftp original video file, it is clearer.
File is about 90 MB.

Original video is posted here:
http://greno-misc.googlecode.com/files/MOV03932.MPG

It's very difficult to see the problem from that video :(
We'd really need a serial console log.

Also you I wonder why the screen goes blank in the end?
Before that it seems to mount the root (?) filesystem OK..

Do you have some console font/videomode thingie configured?
See the "Dom0 console gets all weird and corrupted in the end of the boot process" from:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

Also please add "nomodeset" option to the end of the pvops kernel boot options,
like suggested on pvops examples/docs.

-- Pasi

Ok, I finally got a little more output using nomodeset. There is a soft lockup bug. Attaching screenshots.

I've been changing various settings trying to figure out what is the problem and today after a very long wait (> 5 min) I was able to see a login prompt. But things are not well. During the boot I now see:
XENBUS: Unable to read cpu state.
XENBUS: Unable to read cpu state.
XENBUS: Unable to read cpu state.
XENBUS: Unable to read cpu state.

and while logged in I get a lot of these type of messages every few minutes:
INFO: task xxxxxxx:nnn  blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

and I notice a number of errors in the xen logs with I'm attaching.

Can someone look at these logs and see if there is anything I can do on my end to help fix the problem?
