I have been trying to install XEN-Server for ubuntu for a few days, my problem is that if i boot the xen kernel i get a black blank screen, if i boot the generic Kernel, it boots just fine.
I have LOOKED EVERYWHERE but no use, if i boot the patched xen kertnel, i don’t get the lovely GNOME login screen.
So, i was looking at my extreemly untidy desk, under the piles of paper i noticed a VGA card (NVIDIA 7300LE), then i remembered that i took this out because Ubuntu generic would not boot with this claiming 7676 stolen memory or something similar, i even remember fedora beta not booting with this same error message, Anyway i had a baseless idea (At least it was not my smarts that got me to the idea, i don’t know why i did it), i put the Nvidia VGA card back on the DQ965GF mobo, booted what i had already set as default kernel and got the No-Go stated above, then rebooted to the XEN kernel, and surprise, it is working again…
I thought people reported success with the DQ965GF motherboard… maybe the had PCI-e VGA cards that ran bothe XEN kernel and Generic Kernel !
Anyway, i will report this probably, when i get the time later today.
The computer runs an INTEL Quad Core that supports virtualization.
Happy XENNING….
