Re: [Xen-users] No login on boot with VNC

[Tom Fritz <tfritz@xxxxxxxxx>]

	I'm having the same problem but I'm using pv-grub to boot the VM, 
How do you pass the extra = "console=tty console=hvc0" when I already have 
extra = "(hd1)/boot/grub/menu.lst"?? I tried the following:
extra = "(hd1)/boot/grub/menu.lst console=tty console=hvc0"

But it looks like the trailing statements are ignored.

	When I boot the vm I get console output but no login prompt in the 
VNC window. The xm console <vm> works fine.

Thanks.

Tom
