yeah i'm answering my own post
problem is fixed now, the xen hypervisor or kernel form dom0 seemed to
have/had some problems getting the display output to the vga port
i just bought a serial nullmodem cable and atached it to the serial port
of that tiger4 system to a windows machine with hyperterminal running.
there was a kernel panic about not finding the root fs (megraid scsi
drivers wasn't compiled into the kernel), this caused the reboots of the
machine
system infos:
intel tiger 4 system,
gentoo-linux
###### elilo.conf ######
boot=/dev/sda1
install=/usr/lib/elilo/elilo.efi
delay=20
default=xen
image=/boot/kernel-2.6.21-r4
label=gentoo

read-only
append="console=ttyS1,38400n8"

read-only
append="dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0_mem=512M sync_console console=com1

###### end #####

hi
i'm trying to get xen working on a tiger4 itanium system but the
hypervisor hangs after scrubbing memory, and does not load the dom0
kernel
and if i enable sync_console via boot parameter, the hypervisor stops
right after the timeout that is getting displayed on the screen and
reboots
i also tryed other versions of xen from the merchurial repository
(xen-ia64-unstable.hg
<http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable.hg>,
xen-ia64-unstable-Intel.hg)
<http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-ia64-unstable-Intel.hg>
i've not been able to get even the hypervisor bootmessages with above
mentioned versions
helpfully infos:
tiger4 system,
xen 3.1 from
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/src.tgz/xen-3.1.0-src.tgz
##### elilo.conf #####
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen
label=xen
vmm=/boot/xen-3.1.0.gz
read-only
append="console=vga dom0_mem=512M sync_console nomca --
root=/dev/sda3"
##### end #######
have not been able to get the console output to work, so no bootup
messages here
thx in advance
