To change the font add vga=ask,keep to the xen line and console=hvc0 to
the kernel line, then pick a resolution when prompted. You may also need
to add earlyprintk=xen to the kernel line.
Another thing to try is adding dom0_mem=max:2GB to the xen line as there
have been problems with letting the Dom0 have too much memory.
This is great! Thanks for the help.
Minimized clock and maximized vga settings slowed it enough to get an
idea of where the kernel is throwing a fault.
The kernel boots for quite a while then just after some "cgroup" stuff
it mentions a line about L1 cache, a few more lines, then something
about "Performance events AMD PMU driver"
this is followed by a --cut here-- and the next line says something
about enlighten.c
This isn't a lot to go on but I hope it points to somewhere recognizable.
I can try to localize it more with some help.
Thanks again,
