I cannot get the xen kernel to read open a console. I finally got it to see my root partition, but now I can''t get past this. I''ve tried every combination of tty0, tty1, tty2, etc., but it hangs with the final error message: Warning: Unable to open an initial console My grub.conf file is pretty plain: default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Xen 2.0 / XenLinux 2.6.9 kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=131072 module /vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen0 root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty1 title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667smp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667smp.img title Fedora Core-up (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img Since I am still new to Xen, and quite frankly, don''t know exactly what it is doing yet, please be easy on me ;) Thanks, greg _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Have a look at the Xen FAQ http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq, in particular, section 5.2 may be useful to you.
