Re: Xen kernel boots Fedora 6 x86-64, Standard kernel doesn't

Xen doesn't work on some intel platform machines now.  I have an
Optiplex 620 as well and have the same problem, I filed this :
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207432

The nice people are working on it, and there was an xorg update designed
to fix it but perhaps there is more than one issue because it's still
causing random crashing under X.

The non-xen kernel works perfectly fine for me on the Dell, always has.
I'm using kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.

As for the Shuttle G2 3200 (is that yours?) that's an Intel 945G
Chipset, which is the same chipset as the Optiplex GX620. lspci to
check.

I was having a problem similar to your with the xen kernel, which seems
fixed with the recent 'nash' update so sorry I can't help explain why
your non-xen kernel is giving you problems.

Can you perhaps take the 'quiet' off your grub boot string and get some
more info?
