This sounds like a new machine, so I wonder if you are hitting this xsave issue. You might try 'xsave=0' on the Xen hypervisor line. > > I'm going to buy a serial card for this machine so I can do the serial > console on Xen and get more information. But so far, so good! You can try to do (on Xen) 'console=vga vga=text-80x50 guest_loglvl=all loglvl=all noreboot" and on the Linux command line: "console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen loglevel=8 debug radeon.modeset=0 radeon.modeset=0" That should give you some idea where it is crashing and take a photo. Also, we did have this issue: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/178 which should be fixed in the latest v3.x kernel from Fedora. So it might be that you need to update the kernel (yum update) if that is what you see. > > Gordon > -- > xen mailing list > xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen -- xen mailing list xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
