During bootup of the host machine I see complaints about the char-major-10-135 device 
(rtc).  I wonder if there is some connection?  Just in case I added the line "alias 
char-major-10-135 rtc" to /etc/modules.conf and will see if that solves the problem 
or at least silences the complaint.

Yes to both.

xenolinux-1.1.bk on RedHat9.0 standard edition.

I commented out the /sbin/hwclock line in rc.sysinit and the guest now boots.  
I can ping and ssh to the guest; execute commands, etc.  It seems completely 
functional now.  Yaaaay!

Oddly, I have xen_read_console running but the output from the guest still disappears 
about the same place in the boot sequence (somewhere around the "Init").

The guest's /var/log/messages file shows no errors although when booting the 
xenconsole does receive complaints from rc.sysinit about no such /dev/ttyN, but 
I believe those to be harmless.

Thanks to Ian and Greg for their input and to all the Xen contributors for a 
great project.
