Cannot boot into XEN Kernel
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, I cannot boot into the XEN Kernel (XEN 3.0).
Everything loads, but it seems when it loads X i just get a blank black screen.
Distribution SuSE 10.0 fully patched, XEN kernel is up to date also.
In grub (menu.list) I have:
title Xen 3.0
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=384040
module /boot/vmlinuz-xen root=/dev/hda1 vga=792
module /boot/initrd-xen
I have a virtual machine with XEN and I can boot into the kernel ok.
Is it because I have a custom login screen? would that cause it?

Possibly. What happens when you append 3 and run just terminal apps?
BTW,just wondering what situation requires the use of XEN rather than creating a safe dummy user?

When I want to create a virtual machine.
Also, i don't get anything when I try to boot into XEN, just a black screen, i'll try to run 3 though.
