hi,

I'm new on this list and i need help from experienced users to give
andswer for some questions.

I sen up a dom0 (debian) and would like it to be very minimalist, just
xen tools, some gnu utils and other usefull utilities. This dom0 will
be used to virtualize many hvm OS like windows and some other *nix
paravirtualized. Till there are no problem to view/connect to console
of paravirt OSes, I have some problem to view console of hvm guests.
I was able to connect only to these guest with vnc. If I use `xm
console <domID>`it's only diplay "connected to <domID> console" (or
something like that), but no "graphics".

I don't know if it's possible, but is there a way to display the guest
console, directly on dom0 console by using `xm console <domID>`
WITHOUT installing X on dom0.

Maybe problem come from my config file. I try some tricks with
sdl=0/1, stdvga=1 etc.... But nothing seem to works execpt using VNC.

Thanks for your help.

This is what I did:

In guest:

* Edit menu.lst file and append console=ttyS0 console=tty0

* In /etc/inittab add:

"co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 vt100-nav"

In host:

* In xen config file make sure you have serial="pty"

Paras.
