Hello, Currently we are trying to install a xen machine on a IBM x 3550M4 7914 machine Without any succes. We try to get xen running with opensuse 12.3 or opensuse 13.1 Installing opensuse is no problem, the default ( desktop ) kernel is working ok. when we install the xen-kernel and xen packages openSuse 13.1 -> booting the xen kernel makes the machine freeze and does not react at all. openSuse 12.3 -> booting the xen kernel makes - the keyboard/mouse inresponsive - the video also seems to hang ( only distorted bitmap can be seen on screen ) - However with openSuse 12.3 networking is working and console login is possible - I can not identify from the logs the specific error. - additionally lsusb gives the output "unable to initialize libusb: -99" Anybody any idea where to start trouble shooting?
