I want to describe it a little more. It's not just one DomU.
The problem is with every Debian System as DomU.

They work perfect on a Xen 3.1.0 with a 2.6.18-8 kernel compiled on my 
old motherboard.
Not one problem. But i try to figure out how to upgrade to a newer 
hardware, and this hardware
needs a 2.6.24 kernel (intel ich9 chipset) to work. I also switched to a 
64-Bit Distribution of Debian / Ubuntu
to get the 8gbyte RAM directly into Dom0.

My inittab looks like:
...
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty
...

The problem is before the console loads up, or while.
when i "xm console <domain>" i can't press enter or any key.

It won't be recognized.
At startup the last message is like "starting cron..." and then... hang up.
shutdown works, but nothing else.

Thanks in advance,
Amin
