Unable to boot Xen 4.1
The problem
When I boot Xen, I see the following text for less than one second.
Loading Xen 4.2.2 ...
Loading Linux linux ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...I am then presented with a white cursor. The cursor is in the upper-left screen corner. It blinks at a rate of two or three hertz. The rest of the screen is black. The fan revs up. The system remains in this state indefinitely.
What I am using
Xen 4.2.2 from the AUR
An up-to-date Arch system as dom0
`uname -a` output: Linux paradark 3.10.6-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Aug 13 09:47:01 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
A Lenovo Ideapad y500
How I installed and configured Xen
I installed and configured Xen according to the Xen Arch Wiki page. Here are the steps I took in order:
Installed Xen from the AUR
Generated Grub configuration file with
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfgEnabled the Xen systemd services (xenstored, xenconsoled, and xendomains)
Added `none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0` to /etc/fstab
My question
What steps should I take to trace down the root of my problem?
Additional information
