[Xen-devel] Blank screen while booting xen

[Harmandeep Kaur <write.harmandeep@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tried to modify and compile some of Xen 4.7's code
(cloned from git clone git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git)
and even with a very minor change (patch included at last)
my xen failed to boot. It stucks at black blank screen after
showing some xen logs.

By adding "vga=text-80x80,keep" to the grub before booting
xen., infinite loop of text
"(XEN) traps.c:3290: GPF (0000): ffff82d0801af4d5 -> ffff82d080240e5a"
appears.

I tried to compile and boot xen reverting the change, but
same issue still exists.

Also I tried to setup serial console but my output is garbled.
More info on it here,
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-12/msg02045.html

I tried different software (cu, gtkterm), different baud rates,
different serial-USB cable and stopping modemmanager,
but no luck.

I am using i3-6100 processor, if that info is needed.I will
appreciate any help.
