Re: [Xen-users] XenServer console displays bootup but can't receive keyboard input?

[Melody Bliss <melodybliss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Check /etc/inittab. Do you still have a console device?

When connected to the console, on another terminal, after logging in
via ssh, type "echo test > /dev/console"

does test show up on the console connection? If so, the console is
connected, but getty may not be running on it.

We had a similar issue where the inittab somehow got
overwritten/modified that removed the console getty
