Fedora xen - Mar 2007 - fedora core 6 xen not able to bring up X server:monitor blinks infinitely

My machine configuration is P4 1GB RAM, 40 GB HDD and COMPAQ SVGA monitor.

I have installed fedor core 6 xen in my machine

X server is not coming up with 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen kernel.
xorg.conf is using i810 driver with depth = 24
Fedora Core 6 is installed successfully in graphical mode

When booting,system switches automatically to run level 3.

When i try startx or X or system-config-display , the monitor goes blank and
monitor LED continues to blink infinitely

Few people have faced asimilar problem but i''m not able to find a
solution
for it on the Net.

Any suggestion would be really appreciated...
Thanks....

You''ll find that the X server is in an infinite loop. It does this even
if
Xorg.conf is removed altogether. It will also start just fine with the 
non-xen kernel, as it did with the xen kernel that was in the original 
FC6. It''s been like this since some time in October. I''d also
like to know
the solution. MGA550/x86 in my case.

X server on Dom0? What is your video chipset? ATI? NVidia? Have you 
installed the NVidia published drivers from freshrpms or another repository 
that RPM bundles them?

Yes, it''s been broken for a while, I get it with the radeon driver on 
one machine, the i810 on another, and video-vesafb on either. Just 
doesn''t seem to work any more.
