Pkg xen devel - Jan 2019 - Bug#618576: xen-3.2-1: VNC display over HVM XEN 3/Lenny AMD64

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: important


I've a Debian Lenny AMD64 as production server, where it has important
HVMs that runs correctly.

The problem occurs when i try to create a HVM from a Debian Squeeze
AMD64 iso file.

At first, the VNC display specified shows perfectly the Debian
Installer menu, but when I choose an option (Install or Graphical
Install), the VNC displays a blank screen. Something similar happens
when I try to boot a Live CD into the HVMs.

Hi,

when this happens, did you try to reconnect to the
VNC server? Did it work?

Hi Hans,

We had this problem a long time ago, and we solved it by using XCP, later
Xenserver and nowadays XCP-ng.

Please close it, thanks.
