Hi,
I installed Xen3.3 on a Debian (etch) system. My DomU is also a Debian
(etch) system on a logical volume. I populated the volume by mounting it
from the Dom0 and used debootstrap. The config file for the DomU is:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18.8-xen"
memory = 32
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
disk = ['phy:xenix-lvm/obelix_root,xvda1,w',
'phy:xenix-lvm/obelix_swap,xvda2,w']
vif = [ '' ]
The kernel for the DomU is the kernel I get from the Xen3.3 build
process. Starting the DomU seems to work, at least I get no error from
xm create. When I want to switch the console to the DomU with XM console
the DomU seems to hang during boot. I get the following and then the
output stops. Nothing happens anymore. No login prompt. The only thing I
can do is to shutdown the DomU again.
Can someone please help?
Just a guess, but try adding:
extra = "xencons=tty"
to the domU config file.
I had similar baffling symptoms with 3.3 on Debian, and that fixed it for me.
