Hi, I'm trying to get the console support in KVM working as well as on Xen but right now I'm stuck. I followed these instructions: http://prefetch.net/blog/index.php/2009/06/17/redirecting-the-centos-and-fedora-linux-console-to-a-serial-port-virsh-console-edition/ This works out fairly well except that I cannot watch the bootup of the machine in the vnc console anymore only on the serial console and I also don't get any output on the vnc console on shutdown. Is there a way to configure the serial console in such a way that I don't lose a part of the functionality of the vnc console? Regards, Dennis

On my machines with out-of-band serial, I have the console on both the first terminal and the serial port like this: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 ro root=/dev/lvm_main/dom0_root console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200 You should be able to do something similar with "console=tty0 console=ttyS0" Eric
