Hi all,

I'm trying to get xen running on my new PC:

[root@mail ~]# uname -a

[root@mail ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

When I boot the xen kernel, I get a message about no-one caring about IRQ9, and at about that time my keyboard stops responding (tested by watching the numlock light when pressing the numlock key)

I am using a stock standard Fedora 8 install only using yum to install and upgrade.

I would really like to get this working, but I have not found anything that works.

I have tried using irqpoll, but nothing seemed to change.

I have been searching for the better part of a day and have not found any reference to this problem.

Please help......
