I am running xen 4.2.3 and ubuntu Dom0. Recently I have problems in getting console access to a HVM instance by issuing "xl console <domu-id>". I had to create a hvc0.conf file or edit the
tty0.conf file to direct it to hvc0 . But I am sure I was previously able to get console access without having to edit these files. A colleague mentioned that he has seen this issue too. Any idea what the problem could be? I have included the xl config file
below:
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024
name = 'xen-domU'
vcpus = 1
pae = 1
acpi = 1
apic = 1
vif = [ 'bridge=xenbr0, mac=00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' ]
disk = ['<path_to_image>,raw,xvda,rw']
vnc = 1
vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'
vncdisplay = 1
sdl = 0
serial = 'pty'
