All of my VNC clients displayed the name of the guest OS in the margin, but had a black screen. I looked at the 'xl list' billboard and the guest OS did not have a 'r' in the column. The startup log for all of the guests had this line: 'xen be core: can't open gnttab device' My guess is that the 'gnttab' device is critical to a guest startup. I could not find any reference to this item. What am I missing? Tom -- Public Keys: PGP KeyID = 0x5F22FDC1 GnuPG KeyID = 0x620836CF
