fedora 9 hangs on first reboot '(XEN is relinquishing VGA console')


After installing fedora 9 from DVD on Dell dimension 5100 with sda disc, first reboot, after one or two seconds of text 'VIRTUAL MEMORY ARRANGEMENT' console hangs (one hour then gave up and pressed the button) at last message (XEN) Xen is relinquishing VGA console.

Upgrade install from Fedora 7. No change is turn off and restart.

When the Grub boot screen comes up try to boot with a non-Xen system. Or try to install without Xen or boot from rescue DVD and disable Xen (either completely or in grub boot script).

If it still fails, you will know at least that it's not due to Xen. Maybe it will give some error message that gives a better hint.

Hello,

I experienced the same problem with Xen kernel while trying to set up Xen virtualization... but it seems that only QEMU is now supported in Fedora 9 for virtualization and Xen kernel just won't boot.

Xen kernel support will be implemented in Fedora 10, as I read in Fedora 8 release notes.

I experienced the same problem with Xen kernel when reboot after installing RHEL5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.e15xen.

Change to install Fedora 11, the same problem appears, but SUSE 11 has no this issue.
