XS 6.02 ~ No Graphical Console
I am attempting to install Centos 6.3 on on XS 6.02 Hypervisors with all the latest Hotfixes. I am able to utilize the console, but the default console is text only. I am not given the option at boot time to perform a graphical install. I have tested this through XenCenter console and CPVM. I am running CS4.
Thanks,

The difference is that with Cent it assumes it can do PV, but selecting Other 64-bit you force it into HV.

During the installation after driver detection, usually some point after
selecting the language. Press ALT-F2 then run fdisk. Also I believe when
you use PV mode to install there is no graphics. You will need to use
HVM (Other) to do the install. Then you have graphics.

Using the 4.0 release I get the centos graphical installer when installing

selected the iso os type as Other CentOS (64-bit). Can you confirm the

You could try picking from the OS template list Windows 2008 R2 and that will force XS to use HV instead of PV. It might do the trick.

During the installation after driver detection, usually some point after
selecting the language. Press ALT-F2 then run fdisk. Also I believe when
you use PV mode to install there is no graphics. You will need to use
HVM (Other) to do the install. Then you have graphics.

You can't partition disks without GUI in cent 6. Rendering the install
