[Xen-users] Debian etch Xen: No display window.

[Didier Trosset <didier_trosset@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
