[Xen-users] Install of RHEL as HVM not running

[Thorolf Godawa <nospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install RHEL WS 4 as HVM-guest on a VT-enabled system 
(Pentium D 930) but the installation hangs in the install-program before 
I can start with the installation.
The last I see is the blue screen with a black line under it that says:
"Running anaconda, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system installer - 
please wait..."
Then the system hangs for the whole night until I kill it :-(

I also tried to start the installation with the text-mode-installer, and 
even with "noprobe", "resolution=..." and "nofb" to avoid automatic 
hardware probing, but I get the same result.
Normaly there should appear as next lines the following:

Probing for video card ...
Probing for monitor type ...
Probing for mouse type ...
...

And after some more lines the text-mode or graphical installer starts!

The qemu-dm.00000.log doesn't tell me anything usefull, the last line in 
the log appears before I press <enter> at the RHEL-preboot-menu to start 
the installation in graphical mode:
