I''m trying to setup a login getty session via the console with Xen 3.0 so I can access it via the v20z SP console. I''ve managed get bios, grub and linux boot console access, but getty refuses to start. I''m wondering if anyone has any pointers. I note this particular error in dmesg: "WARNING: Failed to register Xen virtual console driver as ''ttyS0''" == nic@wuwei:~$ grep xen /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel /xen-3.0-devel.gz dom0_mem=262144 com1=38400,8n1 module /vmlinuz-2.6.12-xen0 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0 hda=none hdb=none from dmesg: eth1: dma_rwctrl[769f0000] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky <maxk@qualcomm.com> WARNING: Failed to register Xen virtual console driver as ''ttyS0'' Event-channel device installed.
