It does not matter if I choose to install the guest OS (Fedora 6 x86-64) either as ISO or from a CD. The domain however (VM) keeps running. > > This was reported on xen mailing list by someone else, > http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-bugs/2006-10/msg00056.html > > Any info on why console is unavailable? There are lots of different combinations to worry about :-). If you have a paravirtualized guest, only fedora kernels come with the console support built in (its a patch from redhat). You can still get to the serial console in these cases. See: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-xen/2006-December/msg00083.html
