I''m trying to run Xen on Arch Linux with UEFI boot. I followed the
steps for Xen in the Arch Linux Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen
I get the following when attempting to boot:
Loading Xen 4.2.2 ...
WARNING: no console will be available to the OS
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
Unfortunately there is no console so I cannot determine what has gone wrong, nor
can I ssh in.
Any advice on how to diagnose this boot problem would be welcome.
During the grub boot I can select the arch linux boot image or the xen boot
image.
/boot directory:
efi/
grub/
initramfs-linux-fallback.img
initramfs-linux.img
vmlinuz-linux
xen-4.2.2.gz
xen-syms-4.2.2
