Re: [Xen-users] Help: cannot attach to the domain's console. why?

[ma qiang <maqiang1984@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hiï
   Thanks a lot.  I can connect to domU's console by munally updating
/etc/inittab and grub.conf, but a little trouble is that after my type
"xm console test& enter", the console cannot print until I enter
again. So I thought that doesn't work.
   Now I want to setup serial console automaticly when I install
centos domU. I add "console='ttyS0'" to config file and install the
centos in domU. The config file is attached as below.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = 'hvm'
name = "test"
memory = 1024
disk = [ 'file:/srv/xen/test.img,hda,w',
'file:/root/xen/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-DVD.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'
boot = "d"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=eth1' ]
vcpus=1
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd='password'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
console='ttyS0'  //--------I add this line-----------//

I don't know if I am right. Can you help me again?
  Thank you very much.

Best Wishes!
