Yes, looks pretty much the same: grub.conf: kernel /xen.gz-2.6.21-2952.fc8 com1=115200,8n1module /vmlinuz-2.6.21-2952.fc8xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 rhgb quiet console=ttyS0,115200n81 inittab: co:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 115200 vt100The inittab/securetty settings work Ok when booting the non-Xen kernel, but not when booting the Xen kernel. Normally, for non-Xen, I get all of the BIOS output, the grub output, the kernel boot output, and a login on ttyS0. On the Xen kernel, I get everything except the login (and I also get the Xen booting stuff). I tried swapping my 'co' inittab entry for your 'si' inittab entry, but it made no difference. I got a reply on fedora-xen, saying that inittab actually *is* modified duirng Xen booting, and it looks like there's an error in the modification. However, this isn't the whole story. I've swapped around my inittab a bit, and it's no longer modified, but I *still* don't get a login. On both my old and new innitabs I get a message like this every 5 mintues in the system log and on the ttyS0 output: INIT: Id "s1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes(this is using your "s1" line). This basically seems to mean that the agetty entry in inittab is incorrect, even though (1) (in this case) it wasn't modified by FC8 and/or Xen, and (2) I know it's correct because it works on the un-Xenned kernel. ???
