Re: [Xen-users] problem booting xen 3.0 dom0 on
At last, I found what was going wrong. Nothing! :)
I had this suspicion early on when I glanced through logs, but I confirmed it only now.
The kernel boots fine, but for some reason it does not show any output on my serial console. So when it appears to have frozen on serial console, it is actually running. I pinged it and I found it was up. Then I can ssh into it as well. So I guess this problem is solved.
Thanks for your comments.

I removed splash and quite. I didn't find any difference. The boot process looks frozen on the serial console anyway. I looked into /var/log/messages, but didn't find anything helpful. I am attaching a log file if you would like to have a look at it.
Thanks for your help.

splash and quiet are going to supress all of the Linux boot messages
(and splash isn't going to work under Xen). You should remove both.
You should see xend output though. Try removing the console=vga part in
the kernel line and see if that narrows it down.
