[Xen-users] Can''t find the reason for "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console"
Hi @all, after moveing a normal server in a xenU Domain (by just copying the files) I am getting the following during the startup of that Domain: --snip-- kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds INIT: version 2.86 booting Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console [840 times repeated] Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console Problem when loading /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz use install-keymap Activating swap. --snap-- I don''t know, if the keymap problem is connected to that console messages. But my first concern is this concole message. I googled for it and looked in the archives of xen-users-ml but I couldn''t find any suitable soultion. I tried to swich of the consoles 2-6 in /etc/inittab, but that made no difference. So I hope you can give some hints where to look at.

Just remove the offending programms. The Xen/DomU console is just a serial. .oO(Once appon a time the startup scripts would test if they run on a serial line.
