RE: [Xen-devel] Problem: Pattern with vertical colored lines on the dom0 screen

["Kay, Allen M" <allen.m.kay@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pasi.  I will take a look at the FC13 wiki.

This is a T410 system.  There is no serial port but my guess is it has SOL.  Do 
you know of a good wiki on getting SOL working?

Does your initrd image have/load the proper driver for your disk controller? 
Did you see: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/Fedora13Xen4Tutorial ?

Does that system have a serial port, or SOL (on a management chip) ?
