If you set up a recent SXCE/SXDE, you'll find an xVM boot option in the GRUB menu already there. Just select that and you should be off and running. At least, the parameters in the menu match what is on the OpenSolaris Xen website for installation and getting started. > >> >> Does the Tecra M9 still have a serial port?

That could be useful. I wouldn't know what to do with a xen console though, so any pointers on this would be of use to me. > >> >> kernel$ /boot/$ISADIR/xen.gz com1=9600,8n1 console=com1 >> ... >> >> Maybe there are additional xen hypervisor error messages logged on the >> xen serial console?

There were certainly plenty that flew by, but there was no opportunity to capture them when they were on the screen. I'll see if I can get something with the serial then.
