Xen users - Feb 2007 - xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

Hi List,

I ran into a little problem trying to get xen to run,

when I do

xm create /etc/xen/server1.sxp
Using config file "/etc/xen/server1.sxp".
Started domain server1

the following gets logged:

logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: online XENBUS_PATH=backend/vif/3/0
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: Successful vif-bridge online for vif3.0, 
bridge xenbr0.
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: Writing backend/vif/3/0/hotplug-status 
connected to xenstore.
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: Writing backend/vbd/3/769/physical-device fc:4 
to xenstore.
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: Writing backend/vbd/3/769/hotplug-status 
connected to xenstore.
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: add XENBUS_PATH=backend/vbd/3/770
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: Writing backend/vbd/3/770/physical-device fc:5 
to xenstore.
logger: /etc/xen/scripts/block: Writing backend/vbd/3/770/hotplug-status 
connected to xenstore.

but now when I try to attach a console to the virtual machine it complains 
with the following error:

xm console server1
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory

when I run xm list I do see the server.

xm list
Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0  1764     1     r-----    305.2
server1                                    1   256     1     ------    303.2

but the server doesn''t appear to be really up, since I can''t
ping it..

i copied the partition (including guest kernel and config) to another machine, 
and it works fine there, so there doesn''t seem to be anything wrong
with
that.

I am currently running LFS linux 6.2 with glibc 2.5, gcc 4.1.1, udev-105 and 
xen 3.0.4

name="server1"
kernel="/boot/kernels/xen_guest-server1"
root="/dev/hda1"
#root="/dev/hda1 ro"
memory=256
disk=[''phy:/dev/lvm2_server1/root,ioemu:hda1,w'',''phy:/dev/lvm2_server1/swap,ioemu:hda2,w'']

# network
#vif=[ '''' ]
vif = [ ''mac=aa:00:00:00:00:01, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
dhcp="off"
ip="10.4.8.65"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="10.4.8.1"
hostname="server1.linuxuserbase.com"

extra="3"

does anyone know what causes this problem?

thanks,

Mark Hannessen
