Re: [Xen-users] DomU Console Flow of Control

[John Riedl <riedl@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the reply.  Letting me know that getty needed to be
running and the pointer to the Common Problems wiki page
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenCommonProblems was just the help
I needed.

Turned out my twin problems were :

1) After trying both xvc0 and hvc0 I was incorrectly concentrating on
xvc0 since that's what was working on my hardy domUs. On the pv_ops
kernels, including the recent Ubuntu -server kernels, the correct
device is hvc0.  /dev/hvc0 exists on my karmic installs.

2) getty does not start on /dev/hvc0 by default on karmic.  To start
it, just copy /etc/init/tty1.conf to /etc/init/hvc0.conf, and edit
appropriately.

After that, console works as advertised on both my upgraded karmic,
and my new install.

Thanks!
John
