Xen users - Jan 2006 - Ubuntu: "no more processes left in this runlevel"

I''m trying to run an Ubuntu "breezy" domU over Xen 3.0 (dom0
is a
Debian "sarge"). I followed
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/UbuntuHoaryHowTo.

So, I installed Ubuntu with debootstrap, edited the /etc files as
mentioned above.

The linux kernel starts but booting fails with:

 * Initializing random number generator...                               [ ok ] 
 * Entering runlevel: 2
 * Starting system log daemon...                                         [ ok ] 
 * Starting kernel log daemon...                                         [ ok ] 
 * no more processes left in this runlevel

and then, nothing, "xm top" shows the domain as blocked. "xm
shutdown"
works and it stops properly ("Power down").

you probably forget to install mgetty or have a working /dev/pts/
directory (install udev on your domU)

Why should I need mgetty? I do not intend to use a modem.

udev is already installed (it seems to be a part of Ubuntu "breezy").

You don''t need it, you just need getty from util-linux.  Or anyway,
that''s what I''m using under breezy.  Have you tried booting
into
single user mode to see if everything (particularly stuff in /dev) is
where it ought to be?  Have you checked your inittab and fstab to be
sure there aren''t any errors?

Good advice. I always think of trying single-user when I debug a
physical machine but I forgot to try it with a virtual box.

Good advice again, the Howto
(http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/UbuntuHoaryHowTo) says
"/etc/inittab: comment out the virtual TTY lines, such as
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2" but it does not warn that you
must keep the first line, to have at least one TTY. Now, it works
fine, many thanks.
