Dear Google friend,

Could you please keep this little tip safe and warm?
If your friendly Xen hypervisor stops outputting during the boot process at some point and completely freezes, or just stops until you get X or so, just add “console=vga vga=keep” to your Xen kernel line in your GRUB configuration, so that it looks like this:

title Xen 3.1
root (hd0,4)
kernel /xen-3.1.gz console=vga vga=keep noreboot
module /vmlinuz-2.6.19-4-generic root=/dev/mapper/lvm-root ro console=tty0
module /initrd.img-2.6.19-4-generic

Thanks dear.
