I was able to simplify this a bit: 1. Add nomodeset to kernel command line. 2. Remove all xorg video drivers except the VESA driver. 3. Add "blacklist nouveau" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf. 4. Run "dracut --force" to rebuild initramfs with new blacklist entry. This avoids the requirement for a hard-coded xorg.conf. I previously had trouble keeping the nouveau module from loading. I had forgotten that it is necessary to rebuild an initramfs to ensure the system does not load blacklisted modules. -- Mike :wq -- xen mailing list xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
