I understood your problem this way:
Booting works: You can switch consoles. Graphical mode or X doesn't work
because you have a black login screen (with or without Xen).
/var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log might have some report of the failure.

You might still have a working pre-3.1.2 kernel in Grub2 menu around that works
as a temporary solution.

Are all your RPM packets up to date with "yum upgrade"?
Fedora Bugzilla is a good place to search and report these problems.
NVidia Open source Kernel module developers want to get failure reports to fix
regressions and other problems.
Fedora test kernels are worth to check too: there might already be a fix coming.

So read your grub settings from /boot/grub2/ and figure out if you have some 
wrong or leftover entries there.

Xen runs the grub2 update script to give you an option to boot the kernel 
with the hypervisor. This is different from the way Fedora handles grub2 
configuration when you add a kernel, as their method doesn't work with 
xen. However there is a risk that you will lose configuration options if 
the Fedora system hasn't set up grub2 correctly. This did happen while 
Fedora 16 was in beta as grub2 overwrote a configuration file when you 
updated it until they fixed it, but I am not sure if this is still a 
problem.

No idea. What happens if you boot the Linux kernel with 'debug loglevel=8'
parameters? Does it work?

[Fedora-xen] xen "broke" my system

2011-12-06 Thread Carlos Felipe Santacruz
This is what happened: normally ran 'yum install xen' and that gave 
no problems, but then i rebooted to get to the xen kernel, it resulted 
on black screen (could change consoles with Alt + F2 etc.) so i 
rebooted and tried the regular 3.1.2 kernel with same results. 
uninstalled xen with 'yum history undo' so it would also remove all 
dependencies then rebooted. nothing. 
anyone knows what could have caused this?
