[Xen-users] Blank Screen -- Install Windows XP on FC6 (Xen 3.0.3)	using  
| Forgive me if my etiquitte is a bit off, but I believe I have done my fair 
share of digging prior to posting.  I am attempting to install a Windows XP 
Guest on a new FC6 xen build.  I have dug through various postings, and I am 
positive that I have a VMX enabled processor and Xen seems to agree with me. 
Where I am running into issue is with regards to the possibly infamous 
"blank/black" screen.  After running through the CD install, and rebooting 
with "xm create <node>" and choosing not to boot from the CD, Xen seems to 
slide me over to a new screen where nothing happens.  Any guidance or 
direction would be greatly appreciated, as I can't seem to see any success 
stories from folks running the AMD Virtualization technology.
