RE: [Fedora-xen] FC5 - serial console - no characters received by host?
Hi Tony,
There is a bug about this issue. Please have a look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=180126
If want to use serial port input, I have to disable SMP. Following is a workable
grub config to enable serial out input, but the kernel will be UP. I am not sure
if there is any better solution.
title Fedora Core 5
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/xen.gz-xxx_FC5 dom0_mem=262144 com0=115200,8n1
apci=off
module /boot/vmlinuz-xxx_FC5hypervisor ro root=/dev/sda1
console=ttyS0 console=tty0 pci=noapci
module /boot/initrd-xxx_FC5hypervisor.img
Best Regards,
Yongkang (Kangkang) 永康

Hi there,
I''ve been working with the FC5 Xen stuff for the past few weeks after
trawling many options for building a redundant server farm; It''s a
great build and congratulations to all who put this together.
I have a little issue with my serial console which is putting hte brakes on
deployment though: I want to use the serial console on com2 (the default on the
Intel mainboard I use) to give me the grub console, Xen console and Linux
consoles. I''ve had this working fine on previous releases from SuSE
and others and on the current hardware.
When happens at the moment is that the machine boots, gives me the grub menu,
where I can choose my boot system (so it''s hearing my keystrokes) but
once it proceeds into the Xen and ultimately Linux, it doesn''t want to
hear keystrokes from me any more: I can''t CTRL-A (x3) and get the Xen
console, nor the linux console which is configured in /etc/inittab. I see the
boot messages go past and get a login prompt, but no keystrokes get through or
can control the machine.
It''s making it tricky to send the box to co-lo as I can''t get
serial control if I take down the network, or Hypervisor control to reboot Dom0.
My rpms are:
kernel-xen0-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5
xen-3.0.1-4
and my grub.conf is:
default=0
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
#
serial --unit=1 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10 serial console
#
title Fedora Core (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /xen.gz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 dom0_mem=384000 com2=9600,8n1
console=com2,vga sync_console
module /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb selinux=0
module /initrd-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0.img
I''d appreciate any guidance on silly things I may have done here;
I''m banging my head on this one.
Many thanks,
Tony
