Hi Travis, It *is* working. It''s just that the console has gone graphical at that point.>From a recent response I gave to someone with the same problem:Hi Alex, It *is* working. I ran into this myself with F7, and it took me a bit to figure out what was going on. Your console has been redirected to the graphical console from the serial console at that point in the guest boot process. Here''s what to do: 1) Fire up virt-manager in dom-0. You''ll see your guest running (xm and virsh will show it as blocked). From the ''view'' menu, select the graphical console and you''ll get your guest''s login screen. 2) In order to have the output of your guest appear in both consoles, add the following to your guest''s kernel line in grub.conf: console=tty console=xvc0,9600n8 Now you''ll see all the output in both the text and the graphical console. Note that you''ll also need to edit /etc/securetty and add ''xvc0'', and check /etc/inittab and make sure you have a line like: co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty xvc0 9600 vt100-nav as well. Good luck.

So I can''t get to the stuff below . .
