Bootloader Configuration

Gotchas

• There is an issue with Xen unstable (as of 7/16/2012) and some Linux kernels (confirmed in 3.2) where the kernel will restart the machine midway through the boot process. The fix is to add "xsave=0" to the boot parameters for both the Xen kernel line and Linux kernel line in Grub.

Console Configuration

TBD
