Xen users - May 2010 - what''s wrong with my pv domU console? INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Hi Pasi,

if I don''t change the tty to hvc it will stopped on

Kernel 2.6.31.13 on  i686 (console)
localhost login: root
Kernel 2.6.31.13 on  i686 (console)
localhost login: root
Kernel 2.6.31.13 on  i686 (console)
localhost login: root
After I change it to hvc0 followed the twiki page the log is

Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode:  [  OK  ]
Mounting local filesystems:  [  OK  ]
Enabling /etc/fstab swaps:  [  OK  ]
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
Entering non-interactive startup
Starting system logger: [  OK  ]
Starting kernel logger: [  OK  ]
Starting portmap: [  OK  ]
Mounting other filesystems:  [  OK  ]
Starting sshd: [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd: [  OK  ]
Starting sendmail: [  OK  ]
Starting sm-client: [  OK  ]
Starting boa: [  OK  ]
Starting crond: [  OK  ]
Starting atd: [  OK  ]
INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

stopped here and print  INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for
5
minutes


my domU cfg file is :

disk = [''file:/domU.image,xvda1,w'']
kernel = "/vmlinuz-2.6.31.13"
vcpus=2
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
extra= "console=hvc0 xencons=tty"
(change to extra= "console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0" is the same results

part of my /etc/inittab is
# Run gettys in standard runlevels
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty 115200 hvc0
#1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
#2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
#3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
#4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
#5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
#6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6


Any ideas

Lei

tty1, 2 (and so on) are virtual console on frame buffer/VGA-like display.

You domU config does not include virtual frame buffer (vfb). If it has
that, and your domU kernel supports it (either builtin, or have the
module loaded), you can have tty1 working correctly, accessible using
vnc. domU configuration example:

vfb=[''vnc=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0'']

while the particular entry on kernel''s config should be

CONFIG_XEN_FRAMEBUFFER=y
CONFIG_XEN_KEYBOARD=y

Since you don''t have entry for /dev/console on inittab, I''m
guessing
the extra="console=hvc0 xencons=tty" config line is not used with
regards to displaying login prompt.
