Howdy,
I recently went through a frustrating experience trying to get Xen 4 running on a CentOS 7 system. After a fresh install, fully updating the system, rebooting, then trying to install Xen4CentOS it would fail to boot into the 4.9 kernel, sitting there with a blinking cursor indefinitely.

Check the BIOS to see if Hyperthreading is disabled. If so, enable it. I had some Dell server (Dell R710s and R610s) that I finally figured out would not boot like you describe when HT is off for some reason. PJ
I found what my issue was with it not booting, when the 4.9 kernel was installed it didn't include the mpt3sas driver. I posted the solution to the mailing list earlier with the subject:
4.9 kernel fails to boot because it didn't have the mpt3sas module
This post is just asking what the purpose of console=hvc0 is.
Thanks, Jerry
