I prepared a regular disk and booted from grub, on the K8T800 chipset
machine and on a NForce machine.  Same result, the console disappears
after "scrubbing free RAM" and never comes back.  No change in
symptoms between pxelinux and grub boots.

I would really appreciate it if you could give these questions a try:

1) if I had a dum0 kernel that's just unsuitable (code or config),
what would the symptoms of trying to boot it be?

2) who's printing "scrubbing free ram", the hypervisor or dom0?

2b) speaking of who's printing what, at this point is there any sign
that dom0 even started doing some work?

Thanks
