Re: [Xen-users] Guest-domain has no login [SOLVED]

[Marcel Schroers <schroers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Trilok,

thanks for the quick reply. It worked :)

but I had to comment out another line (because the init-routine  
compplained
about a double "co" entry.) For anybody having the same strange  
behaviour
and looking for a solution, heres my /etc/inittab of the guest domain  
(including
the comment out line):

#
# inittab       This file describes how the INIT process should set up
#               the system in a certain run-level.
#
# Author:       Miquel van Smoorenburg, <miquels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
#               Modified for RHS Linux by Marc Ewing and Donnie Barnes
#

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have  
networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
