known issue with vga text mode (32bit only, 64bit works ok). vga window
at 0xc0000 isn't mapped correctly. Workaround: drive the card in gfx
mode. Either kernel mode setting or vesafb (use something like
vga=gfx-1024x768x16 on the *xen* kernel command line).
So the reason for this issue is known.. any patches available?
