For Linux add earlyprintk=xenboot loglevel=9 debug to the kernel command line. For Xen add guest_loglvl=all to the Xen command line. Please post the Xen serial output and the Linux kernel output of your DomU.> Thank you for reading. > > Best Regards, > Younghyun Jo. > > > > Here is my guest configuration > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > kernel = "hvmloader" > > builder=''hvm'' > > vcpus = 4 > memory = 4096 > > name = "pvhvm-ubuntu" > > disk = [''phy:/dev/vg/myvmdisk1,hda,w'', > ''file:/home/younghyun/domains/ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r''] > > device_model = ''qemu-dm'' > boot="cd" > sdl=0 > opengl=1 > vnc=1 > vnclisten="0.0.0.0" > vncdisplay=1 > vncpasswd='''' > stdvga=0 > serial=''pty'' > tsc_mode=0 > usb=1 > usbdevice=''tablet'' > xen_platform_pci=1 > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

If you want to use 4.1 please make sure it contains commit 8b94e436ed3f83e899f5b0cc403461f95750964b.
