[Xen-users] console woes

["Nate, Greg" <Greg_Nate@xxxxxxx>]

I cannot get the xen kernel to read open a console.  I finally got it to see my root partition, but now I can't get past this.  I've tried every combination of tty0, tty1, tty2, etc., but it hangs with the final error message:

 

Warning:  Unable to open an initial console

 

My grub.conf file is pretty plain:

 

 

default=0

timeout=5

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

hiddenmenu

 

title Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.9

kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072

module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty1

 

title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667smp)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667smp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667smp.img

 

title Fedora Core-up (2.6.9-1.667)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img

 

Since I am still new to Xen, and quite frankly, don't know exactly what it is doing yet, please be easy on me ;)

 

Thanks,

 

greg
