I'm running 64bit CentOS 4.3 on a dell PE2950 with 64bit Xen 3.0.2-2
compiled from source.
I can get VMX machines running as displayed by 'xm list'
Unfortunately I cannot get a console to continue the install (win2k3 or
Linux) with 'xm console ID' or 'xm create -c VMName.hvm'
Neither does vncviewer connect when vnc enebled in the hvm conf.
I know that the VMX domain is running, the cpu time is incrementing, but
I cannot connect to the flippin thing.
This has been reported before but I've not found a published resolution.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
What other connection methods are available as workaround?
Remember that I need to go through the install process (particularly for
windows) not just connect via ssh or vnc to a ported install.
