Desktop Environment/GUI Cannot Start After I Have Installed Xen 4.1.3-rc1-pre and Linux Kernel 3.3.0-rc7

[Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)]

Hi,

I have solved the problem. Xen 4.1.x is incompatible with the onboard 
graphics of Intel DQ45CB motherboard. I have switched the graphics 
adapter to NVIDIA 8400 GS PCI Express x16 and the combination of Xen 
4.1.3-rc1-pre, kernel 3.3.0-rc7, and NVIDIA 8400 GS works well (Xen 
4.1.x is compatible with NVIDIA 8400 GS graphics).

I have also compiled the *latest* linux kernels 3.x.x for Ubuntu 11.10 
Final Release for you to use. You may download the *latest* linux 
kernels from the following links:
