[Xen-users] Unable to Create HVM Guests

[lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi All,

I recently upgraded my Xen box from OpenSUSE 10.1 to OpenSUSE 10.2.  
The kernel
is the one supplied in OpenSUSE (I haven't compiled my own) version
2.6.18.2-34-xen and the xen version is 3.03.  I'm now unable to create any HVM
guests, after issuing the xm create command the SDL BIOS window (if that's the
correct way to describe it) briefly appears for less than a second and then
dissapears.  The window isn't visible on the screen long enough for me to see
if there are any useful error messages.  I've included the output of xm 
log and
the config file at the end of this message.

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be gratefully received! :-)

Thanks in advance,

Steve.
