I am trying to setup Xen virtual servers using a Debian etch with the xen 3.0.3 provided in 32 bits mode. I am using full virtualization.

I managed to get things started using the configuration provided below. I was able to run the install (with boot="d"). I even managed to start the system afterwards, and it runs correctly.

But now I encounter a problem I already hit when running 64 bits kernels (I am running now 32 bits, as I was told xen support for 64 bits was much better since 3.0.4).

The xen domU starts, but it does not display the SDL window anymore.

It did it a few times, for installing the system for instance, with everything runnig perfectly OK, connecting to a network mirror for the install. It runs really well!

The only way for me to make it appear again is to remove the type=ioemu from the vif. But then the system does not recognize anymore the net card, which seems reasonable.

Does anyone experienced this?
Does anyone have a clue about it?

Thanks
Didier
