Re: [Xen-users] serial console for dom0 (rh 5.1)

[Metanol <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I used to have the same problem with RHEL5.1...
Try something like this - It works for me:
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen)
         root (hd0,0)
         kernel /boot/xen.gz-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 com1=57600,8n1 pnpacpi=off
console=com1
         module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen ro root=/dev/md0
xencons=xvc console=xvc
         module /boot/initrd-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen.img

You also need to add this to your inittab:
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 115200 xvc vt102
So it goes as far as the prompt

Hope this helps!
