Hi all, I have a question on /etc/inittab for DomU booted with xencons parameter. I saw the following error messages when I appended xencons=ttyS to DomU boot option. INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 mi...

...r, Here''s one other trivial patch for the xen console that I noticed. The current driver doesn''t set it''s driver_name field. This results in an "unknown" driver when you cat /proc/tty/drivers. We might was well give it a name. I have no attachment to "xencons" if you''d like to change it to something else.

...t;xm console nameofdomU". I do see all the startup stuff but I see no login prompt. If I connect to the domU via SSH, it work perfectly fine. I have tried adding the following line to the domU configuration file which used to work fine in Xen 3.2 but with no success : extra = ''xencons=tty1, clocksource=jiffies'' I have also tried with tty instead of tty1 but that doesn''t change anything. Am I missing something ? Thank you in advance for your help, Antoine Benkemoun _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xenso...

...e this <http://www.option-c.com/xwiki/Create_a_Debian_VM_with_debootstrap>), the VM hangs right after starting crond. This is exactly before the login prompt (which doesn''t come up). 1) In the internet, the solution is an /extra/ line in the configuration like /extra = ''xencons=tty1''/. That works, but isn''t there another solution? 2) I''m trying to start the VM via libvirt which uses XML configuration, and I can''t get it to work (tried to convert the /extra/ line to /<console tty="tty1" />/ but that didn''t work...

...he fact that once the VM is started I cannot "xm console" into it. It only works while it is booting and while it is shutting down. I tried many different configurations for inittab and the domU config file with tty, xvc0 and hvc0, but none worked. I tried: --- extra = "console=xvc0 xencons=xvc0" AND extra = "console=tty xencons=tty" --- But none worked. I noted that in the inittab file of my domU, when I put the following line in it: --- 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 xvc0 --- the console never shows up, so I cannot log in my domU. But if I put instead: --- 1:234...

Hi, On a regular FC4 machine there are 76 device file for /dev/ttyS*.

I''m running Xen 3.2 on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) and am having trouble booting up a Debian Etch DomU. It hangs at the end when it says "Starting periodic command scheduler: cron."

Hi, on my system (Linux 2.6.18.8 - ia64), if a domain write on the xencons before xenconsole is initialized the domain gets back what it wrote. This patch fixes this issue by making raw the pty slave very early. (I suppose it doesn''t happen with linux as a guest because it takes a little bit of time before writing to xencons).
