Yes!

In the original mail I sent the full hypervisor log from the error case (VT-d
switched on). I couldn't spot an error message.

Yes the machine runs well. I can work remotely. Only the console is affected.

I didn't try this out because at the end I could reproduce this behaviour while
booting the hypervisor and before dom0 starts.
Another thing is when starting the X server I see kernel messages in a loop:
[ 1193.549808] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] ERROR Hangcheck timer elapsed... 
GPU hung
[ 1193.572464] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000
[ 1193.586720] i915: Waking up sleeping processes
[ 1193.600679] [drm:i915_do_wait_request] ERROR i915_do_wait_request returns -5 
(awaiting 1 at 0)
dom0 kernel is from SLES11 SP1 2.6.32.12-0.7-xen.
As in the orignal mail mentioned I would assume it's a problem with the bios
and maybe some access stuff due to the iommu. But I'am not familiar enough with
this.
So I hoped anybody on the list could give me a hint while reading the logs in
my original mail ;-)
Thanks.

Dietmar.
