I'm trying to install 12.1 as a xen guest, which appears to start well,
but then ends in a hang after several messages:

I doubt these messages are related to the hang, but just in case they
are - you'd want to blacklist edd.ko (or eliminate whatever leads to
it getting loaded; this happening multiple times makes me uncertain
where to point you, normally I would have told you to edit
INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and re-create the initrd).
Hi Jan
I used brokenmodules=edd, which gave an interesting result - on the console, I
see one instance of:
[ 1.382786] BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found
[ 1.382815] EDD information not available.
but the system still ends up hanging. Without blacklisting 'edd', I get 20-30
repeats of the above, but I agree, it's not likely to be causing the hangup.
Ah well, I'll keep looking.
thanks
Per
