Pkg xen devel - Nov 2008 - Console and disk-devicenames in DomU on Lenny?

Hi,

I've tried to setup a new DomU on Lenny and I'm a little bit confused on
which device names I should use for disks and console in the various
DomU-kernels?

Is it correct that:

2.6.18-xen-kernel from Etch
start with no "extra"
tty1 in /etc/inittab
/dev/sd for disks

2.6.26-xen-kernel from Lenny:
start with no "extra"
hvc0 in /etc/inittab
/dev/xvd for disks

pv-ops-kernel from upstream:
start with extra="console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0"
hvc0 in /etc/inittab
/dev/xvd for disks

Best Regards,
/LM

Does not work at the moment here.

I use extra="console=xvc0 xencons=xvc0"
xvc0 in /etc/inittab
/dev/sda1 for disks (I use LVM volumes)

So no hvc0 but xvc0.

For 32-bit I use the same parameters as for 64-bit.

I also install udev in the client, and put this line in /etc/fstab:
devpts /dev/pts devpts default 0 0
