Xen users - May 2006 - Install of RHEL as HVM not running

Hi,

I''m trying to install RHEL WS 4 as HVM-guest on a VT-enabled system 
(Pentium D 930) but the installation hangs in the install-program before 
I can start with the installation.

The last I see is the blue screen with a black line under it that says:
"Running anaconda, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system installer - 
please wait..."

Then the system hangs for the whole night until I kill it :-(

I also tried to start the installation with the text-mode-installer, and 
even with "noprobe", "resolution=..." and "nofb"
to avoid automatic
hardware probing, but I get the same result.

Normaly there should appear as next lines the following:

Probing for video card ...
Probing for monitor type ...
Probing for mouse type ...
...

And after some more lines the text-mode or graphical installer starts!

The qemu-dm.00000.log doesn''t tell me anything usefull, the last line
in
the log appears before I press <enter> at the RHEL-preboot-menu to start 
the installation in graphical mode:

Any ideas?

the boot-option "skipddc" did the trick :-)

Now the installation started, partitioned and formated the harddrive and 
installed the everything from the first CD. But now the installer wants 
the second CD, I insert it, click OK and get "Unable to access CDROM"
:-(

And now?

You need to use qemu command to change the cdrom.
Click "Ctrl + Alt + 2" to change qemu to monitor console.
Execute the following commands:
eject cdrom
change cdrom /dev/cdrom
Then click "Ctrl + Alt + 1".

Thanks
