Before playing around with the kernel config further, I don't use XenServer, but use the xen-stuff in portage instead. (My host runs Gentoo as well) In the configuration, I add the following to the kernel-parameters: " xencons=tty " Maybe a similar option will help you as well. Otherwise, you could try checking the input-devices. Especially things like keyboard/usb/hid/ps/... Also, if you have further difficulty, the xen-users list might be a better port of call as there are plenty of people there who use XenServer. http://lists.xensource.com/mailman/listinfo/xen-users -- Joost Roeleveld PS.
