Same thing here, nothing happens. Usually you should at least hear the
hard drive working even if there wouldn't be any console output.
2.6.20-xen (from gentoo) is working just fine.

Basic system configuration:

- VIA C3-2 CPU (Nehemia)
- Xen 3.1.0
- dom0 kernel: 2.6.20-xen (from gentoo)
- domU kernel: I tried both 2.6.23 vanilla and 2.6.23-gentoo, with and
  without SMP support.
- domU kernel .config: http://www.boppstrasse.de/config-2.6.23-gentoo

`xm list` shows that the domU's CPU time doesn't increase if I compile
it without local apic support, it's stuck somewhere between 0.6 and 1.0
seconds. When I enable local apic, the CPU time does increase steadily.
`xm dmesg` shows nothing when I boot the domU kernel.

Can anybody send me a known to be working 2.6.23 kernel .config so I can
try if it works on my system?

Cheers,
Michael
