Hi all, I''m trying hard to get a framebuffer console on a dom0 (Ubuntu 7.04/Debian Etch with (virtual)framebuffer support compiled it + Xen3.1) and already tried different tutorials, e.g. starting dom0 with kernel parameters - "xencons=xvc console=xvc0 console=tty1" or - "xencons=ttyS0 console=ttyS0 video=xenfb" and appending "S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty

Hi Pasi, if I don''t change the tty to hvc it will stopped on Kernel 2.6.31.13 on i686 (console) localhost login: root Kernel 2.6.31.13 on i686 (console) localhost login: root Kernel 2.6.31.13 on i686 (console) localhost login: root After I change it to hvc0 followed the twiki page the log is Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: [ OK ] Mounting local filesystems: [ OK

This is the patch from Amos Waterland for the xenconsole to use /dev/xvc0 instead of taking over ttys. I''ve fixed a few places which needed to check for XVC mode in addition to serial mode. Also, until LANANA responds with an official minor, I''ve adjusted it to use char 250/187 (in the experimental range) as opposed to 204/187. (Should be identical to this patch from last

Hi list, I am running a virtualized server. Dom0 uses Xen 3.2.1 with Debian Etch and a custom kernel 2.6.21 created by my webhosting company. I install my domU using debootstrap for a Debian Etch with 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 kernel. Everything works well except the 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

Hi, I need some help to clarify TTY and virtual consoles. Thanks a lot. 1. I learned that to switch from one TTY to another, one must be at the physical machine. Does the same apply to virtual consoles? 2. My /etc/inittab includes the following. Does that mean there's only one instance of TTY on my CentOS? ... #

Hello, I would like to use the kernel in the domU, so that a user can install it's own kernel.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share all the bits of information I needed while trying to get a serial modem to work under a Xen guest :) I found other howtos but every one was missing something. So, my setup consists of dom0 and domU with CentOS 5.2, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen and Xen 3.2.1 To get /dev/ttyS0 to work under domU: - Tell Xen to use something else for its console: in

Just something to be added: - This procedure doesn''t work with a Fedora 9 DomU - Maybe you have to blacklist some modules in the Dom0: AFAIK you have to rmmod (better: blacklist on boot using modprobe.conf) these modules: serial_core 8250 and 8250_pnp ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- Von: Federico Fanton <fake@panizzolo.it> An: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Gesendet: Freitag, den

As many of us are all too painfully aware we have completely different VNC server implementations for paravirt vs fullyvirt Xen guests. The former based on libvncserver, the latter integrated into QEMU. There are many new and interesting ideas being tried out in the VNC server space in particular wrt to virtualization and having to implement them all twice is not very desirable. Also
