Fedora 15 and PV-GRUB

I had the same issue a few minutes ago the boot hung at that point, I shutdown and booted up again via the linode manager and it worked the second time (note the close blk: bits aren't errors they're normal)

I've tried a few times. I know the blk bits are normal but I get zero additional output in lish or via logview. Very strange.

Ah just spotted your problem, edit console=tty0 to console=hvc0

Nope sadly not. Tried that:

# boot=/dev/xvda
# kopt=root=/dev/xvda console=hvc0 ro quiet
# groot=(hd0)

default=0
timeout=5

title Fedora (2.6.41.4-1.fc15.i686.PAE)
        root (hd0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.41.4-1.fc15.i686.PAE root=/dev/xvda console=hvc0 ro
        initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.41.4-1.fc15.i686.PAE.img
title Fedora (2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.PAE)
        root (hd0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.PAE root=/dev/xvda console=hvc0 ro
        initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.PAE.img

And no joy.

Can you ssh in normally or ping your server so we can tell if it's actually booting and not displaying the list console or just not booting properly at all.

It's not booting at all. Can't ping or SSH to it and when it fails it drops me out of the Lish screen session.

Well that's about as much as I know about fedora without trying it myself hopefully someone else who uses fedora will pop up and be able to help.

No problems - thanks for trying. :)

It's weird because there's no error output which makes troubleshooting somewhat tricky.

That's what I based my config on.

I have the same issue with Centos 6.2.

The strange part is that it works on one linode (newark405) and not on another (newark394).

I think it's a problem with the hosting machine, not with the linode

It might be but difficult to test that. I am just disappointed I can't seem to get it working.
