Thread-topic: Xen Dom0 console display is scrambled
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/12.27.0.100910
Hi,

I just install xen and kernel-xen version 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen, booting into the xen kernel dom0 shows me continous colorful scrambling and scrolling. 
I can ssh to dom0 and get correct display but the dom0 console is where it shows the colorful garbage scrolling.
i have the Supermicro X7DC motherboard with a XGI Z9 graphics card.
GUI is not installed and I don't have the rhgb parameter in my grub.conf. 
My grub.conf is plain and unmodified.

#boot=/dev/md0
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /xen.gz-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen ro root=/dev/VG_ROOT/LV_ROOT
 module /initrd-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5xen.img
title CentOS (2.6.18-194.26.1.el5)
 root (hd0,0)
 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5 ro root=/dev/VG_ROOT/LV_ROOT
 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.img

 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.el5 ro root=/dev/VG_ROOT/LV_ROOT
 initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.el5.img


Tried adding the "vga=<vesa mode>" parameter in grub for the Xen kernel, but that didn't work.

I also ran into this thread http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-api/2010-06/msg00015.html
But that didn’t help.

Can someone help?

Thank you
