Xen Users,

In trying to bring up a new machine, I have debugged to the point that it 
appears that nomodeset is required to boot a pvops dom0 on Xen 4.0.1, on this 
machine (otherwise a udevd failure), but the video will not work without KMS, 
i.e. dom0 gets a "No modesetting driver detected" error. Everything in dom0 
works fine remotely, including X forwarding, but no GUI on the console. I have 
tried all combinations of iommu, nomodeset, and nopat. I have also tried 
intel_iommu=igfx_off, without changing the results.

Any suggestions?

Sincerely,

John
