I expect that because you couldn't get to the console the VM was never
installed so there is nothing to boot. You probably need to destroy and
reinstall.

After I rebooted &&deleted&& reinstalled domU, an interesting thing happened, the error seems to have gone away, instead, there is a long script following the command line, but it just stuck there. nothing can be done here, here is the running script:

It seems to reject all non-ssh connections, which would explain things I
think.

Try flushing your firewall rules perhaps? Or reconfigure to allow
5900-6000.

Thanks a lot. I've already re-configured the firewall rules to allow 5900-6000 [both in and out]. The command "vncviewer localhost:5901" can bring a VNC window to me.

Right now the only issue left seems to be how to get through the stuck virtual machine after I do "xm console cent5"

That shouldn't impact localhost connections.
